Fancy Greens with Warm Pancetta Dressing
1/4 pound pancetta thinly sliced and chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
pinch of sugar (not too much)
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 pound Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
1 pound assorted fancy greens (use a combination of red leaf lettuce, arugula, radicchio, or whatever you like)
Saute the pancetta until slightly crispy. Add the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar. Simmer for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the pine nuts by heating them in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown. Shake the pan while toasting the nuts to prevent burning.
Tear the greens up and place them in a large bowl. Toss the greens with the warm dressing, toasted pine nuts, and Gorgonzola. Serve immediately.
