Method

Prepare the Dressing

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, crumbled buttermilk bleu cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Prepare the Pancetta and Shallots

  1. 3

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced shallots and sauté in the remaining pancetta fat until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    On a serving platter or individual plates, arrange the iceberg lettuce wedges.

  2. 6

    Drizzle with the prepared buttermilk bleu dressing, ensuring to cover each wedge.

  3. 7

    Sprinkle the crispy pancetta and shallots generously over the wedges.

  4. 8

    Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
