I always have lentils on hand in my pantry. I use them in soups, rice dishes, and pastas, but I really appreciate them when they're delicately cooked and served as a salad. I think smoked bacon is really essential to booting their flavor. This dish had nice acidity and richness. The peppery arugula goes so well with these flavors. It's one of my favorite salads. I place my egg into a ramekin lined with plastic wrap, then I poach it gently for 4-5 minutes. I chose to separate the white from the yolk for appearance.
