Salad Base

Pancetta Vinaigrette

Grilled Salmon

Method

Preparation of Pancetta Vinaigrette

1

Cook Pancetta

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2

Make Vinaigrette

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add the cooked pancetta and any drippings from the skillet into the vinaigrette and mix well.

Grilling Salmon

3

Prepare Salmon

Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

4

Grill the Salmon

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Assembling the Salad

5

Combine Salad Ingredients

In a large bowl, toss together the baby leaf spinach, crumbled blue cheese, roasted walnuts, and dried cherries.

6

Add Vinaigrette

Drizzle the warm pancetta vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

7

Top with Salmon

Place the grilled salmon fillets on top of the salad.

8

Sprinkle the crisp onion straws over the top for garnish before serving.
