Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pancetta

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Parmesan Breadcrumbs

    In the same skillet used for pancetta, add olive oil. Once hot, add breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Cook until golden brown and crispy, stirring frequently.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Cut the baby gem lettuce in half lengthwise and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy Caesar dressing and top with crispy pancetta and parmesan breadcrumbs.
