French Bistro Salad Diet Recipe
When you talk about diet and recipes, the
first thing that strikes your mind, how high is the
cholesterol of the diet, how many KCalories it is going to
add to my body, so and so on...
What better
than the highly popular "The Atkins Diet" to start up with.
The cornerstone of the Atkins philosophy is a four-phase
eating plan in conjunction with vitamin and mineral
supplementation and regular exercise. The Atkins Nutritional
Approach rebalances your nutrition so that you improve your
energy level and your appearance and gain a sense of
well-being. So I want to share a recipe from the Atkins Diet
Collection. Hope you like it.
The recipe is as follows:
FRENCH BISTRO SALAD
Calorie Count: 527
Carbohydrates: 14.5 grams, Net Carbs: 3.5 grams, Fiber: 11
grams, Protein: 25 grams, Fat: 40.5 grams
Servings: 4
Prep time: 20 minutes
Bake/Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 large eggs
12 thick slices of bacon
6 cups frisee, cleaned and torn (about 3 heads)
1 cup Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated (about 1/3 pound)
Instructions:
For dressing: Combine lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper
in a blender in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil
until dressing thickens and set aside. Poach eggs in an egg
poacher, saucepot or microwave. Cook until whites are set
but yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes in an egg poacher
or 2 minutes in microwave. Place in ice water until ready to
use. Stack bacon and slice into 1" by 1/2" pieces and sauté
over medium-high heat until nicely browned and crisp, about
3 minutes. Drain and set aside. To assemble salads: Toss
frisee with the dressing and divide evenly on 4 plates.
Sprinkle with bacon slices and shredded cheese. To quickly
reheat eggs, immerse in simmering water for 30 seconds.
Place one egg on top of each salad.
