Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Pickle the Red Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a bowl. Pour the red wine vinegar over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them pickle for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until it is crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Herb Emulsion

    In a blender, combine the fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    On a large plate, lay the Bibb lettuce leaves. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the lettuce. Tear the burrata into pieces and place on top. Add the crispy pancetta and pickled red onions. Drizzle with the herb emulsion before serving.
