Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs small red potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 6 oz pancetta, diced
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup homemade or store-bought Caesar dressing
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup croutons
- 2 pieces anchovy fillets (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and halve the red potatoes. In a large bowl, toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the potatoes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and develop nice grill marks. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
In a large salad bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, grilled red potatoes, crispy pancetta, and croutons.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing and lemon juice over the salad. Toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese and optional anchovy fillets, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Grilled Red Potato Caesar Salad with Pancetta!
