1

Clean the lamb's lettuce by rinsing it in a bowl of water and picking through the leaves to remove any dirt or long roots.

2

Roast about a handful of walnuts in a pan over low heat to release their oils and aroma, being careful not to burn them.

3

Fry the bacon in the same pan without adding oil.

4

Make the dressing by combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and mix until combined.

5

Assemble the salad by arranging the lamb's lettuce on a plate, adding the dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.

6

Peel the eggs and arrange them on top of the salad, using either hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs based on preference.

7

Top the salad with homemade croutons and walnuts.
