Ingredients: Baby Spinach, Lemon Juice, Pancetta, Roasted Garlic, Pine Nuts, Goat Cheese, Bread Crumbs
1. Cut a slice of goat cheese and coat with bread crumbs... Broil in oven while preparing the salad until crumbs turn dark brown and remove until plating.
2. Place baby spinach in a large mixing bowl along with toasted pine nuts, roasted garlic cloves, pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Heat a saute pan to med-high heat and cook pancetta or bacon until crispy. Transfer the cooked pancetta into the bowl of baby spinach.
4. In the same saute pan at step #3 with the pancetta drippings, turn heat to med, add splash of olive oil and the juice of halve a lemon. (whisk together to emulsify)
5. Poor dressing over salad while warm/hot and toss to coat leaves. Plate and serve, don't forget to top it with the goat cheese :)
This was really yummy! I love the pancetta, such nice touch instead of using bacon. All of the flavors complemented each other very well.
ReplyDeleteI loved the warm goat cheese on top.
