Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Chop Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Dry using a salad spinner or paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare Roma Tomatoes

    Wash the roma tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.

  3. 3

    Add Bruschetta Tomatoes

    If using fresh bruschetta tomatoes, chop them finely. If using store-bought, measure out 1 cup and add to the salad bowl.

Dressing the Salad

  1. 4

    Add Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Pour 1 cup of balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture in the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are coated evenly.

Adding Toppings

  1. 5

    Crumble Gorgonzola Cheese

    Sprinkle 1 cup of crumbled gorgonzola cheese over the dressed salad. Make sure to distribute it evenly.

  2. 6

    Prepare Pancetta

    Cook the pancetta slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, drain on paper towels to remove excess grease and then chop into small pieces.

  3. 7

    Add Pancetta

    Sprinkle the chopped pancetta over the salad for added flavor and crunch.
