Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz diced pancetta
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, quartered into wedges
Instructions
Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is golden and crispy. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, sea salt, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.
Stir the crispy pancetta (reserving a small amount for garnish) and chopped chives into the dressing mixture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if necessary.
To serve, place a wedge of iceberg lettuce on each plate. Drizzle generously with the creamy pancetta dressing and sprinkle the reserved crispy pancetta and extra chopped chives on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, creamy, and savory flavors of this simple yet satisfying salad.
