Recipe: GI Low Carb - Salad Lyon with poached egg

A low carb GI salad with poached eggs and slices of smoked pork. Tasty! Based on a recipe from Lyon, France.

I wanted to find a new way to prepare the eggs now at Easter, says Pixi. We normally boil our Easter eggs here in Sweden, a bit boring in the long run. And I found this recipe with poached eggs.

I never thought it would be that easy to poach the eggs! And it is very, very tasty with the smoked pork, instead of bacon.
This is a recipe serving 4 persons:

French Low Carb GI Salad from Lyon

approx 250 gr mixed, green salad
250 gr smoked pork
4 eggs, poached or hard boiled
4 slices of whole meal bread in cubes, making croutons
a clove of garlic

Dressing:
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tbs vinegar
1 tsp French mustard
salt

1. Shred and fry the pork.
2. Make the croutons: Rub a pan with the clove of garlic, cut in two. Add a dash of olive oil and heat it up. Fry the bread cubes until they are crisp and have a nice colour.
3. Poach the eggs: Break the eggs, each in a cup. Boil the water with two tablespoons of vinegar. Take the pan from the heat and let the eggs gently slide into the water. Let the eggs boil on low heat for 4 minutes. Trim the "edges" of the eggs.
4. Put the salad and the pork on the plates. Add the dressing and mix. Then you add the bread cubes, the croutons, and at last the poached eggs.

This is a super GI Low Carb lunch or a starter. At Easter.

Here is another recipe of Salade Lyonnaise with a detailed instruction of how to poach the eggs.

And Pixi says that she actually came to Lyon once. To visit the fantastic Museum of Textiles and Decorative Arts. And silk. But, the museum was closed and she didn't even get a Salade Lyonnaise that very day she visited the town of Lyon, in France ...
