Step 1
Wash, dry and shred the leaves into a salad bowl with the chives. Dry fry the bacon. When it has released a little fat add the shallot or onion and continue frying for 2 minutes. Drain and add to the leaves.

Step 2
De-glaze the pan with the vinegar (add vinegar to the hot pan and slosh it around so it picks up all the flavour from the pan) and pour the liquid over the salad. Add the oil. Season and toss well. Serve immediately.
