Ingredients

4 eggs
500g green beans, tailed
200g rindless streaky bacon, chopped
2 French shallots (or half a small red onion), finely sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil

Method

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook eggs for 6-7 minutes or until medium. Place eggs into cold water to prevent further cooking. Cool and peel.
Blanch green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Refresh in cold water. Drain well. Transfer to a salad bowl.
Cook bacon in a frying pan until golden and crisp. Toss through beans.
Combine French shallots, garlic, mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl. Mix well. Whisk in olive oil until thick and thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle ¾ of the dressing over the beans and bacon. Toss to mix well.
Grate eggs over the top of the salad. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prepare beans, bacon, dressing and eggs in advance and keep separate. Store in the refrigerator. Put it together just before serving.
Add nuts or any herbs.
