1. Whisk together the dressing ingredients, then set aside. Cook the runner beans in a pan of boiling water for 4 mins until tender. Drain and tip into iced water. Fry the bacon in a dry pan until crisp, add the beans to the bacon, then remove from the heat. Bring another pan of water to the boil, add the vinegar, then poach the eggs for about 3 mins. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, then drain on kitchen paper.
2. Dress and toss the beans and bacon with the lettuce and tomatoes. Pile the salad onto 4 plates, top with poached eggs and serve.

  Bit of a disappointment. So many green leaves that the egg got lost somewhere in them. Also the hot egg did not go well with the rest of the cold salad. Won't be trying this again.

  I thought this dish was very nice and have made it a few times. Simple ingredients and crisp, fresh flavours, plus the egg is a lovely finishing touch.

  I have used sliced, boiled eggs instead of poached as well, bit easier to prepare, nearly as nice. I have a garden full of runner beans, so use more of them and cut back on the lettuce.
