Description
This fresh zingy salad pairs chargrilled asparagus with crispy pancetta, peppery rocket, sharp parmesan and juicy tomatoes tossed in a zesty orange dressing.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Blanch the asparagus spears in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain, and immediately refresh the asparagus in a bowl of cold water. When the spears are cool enough to handle, drain again.
Step 2 of 4
Heat a ridged cast-iron grill pan or griddle until hot. Wrap 2 slices of the pancetta around each asparagus spear. Grill the asparagus spears for about 3-4 minutes until beginning to char, turning once halfway during the cooking time. Set aside.
Step 3 of 4
To make the dressing, whisk together the garlic, oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, and whisk again.
Step 4 of 4
Toss together the salad leaves, tomatoes, and dressing in a bowl, and divide among 4 serving plates or bowls. Top each serving with 3 of the asparagus and pancetta spears, and sprinkle the Parmesan shards over the top. Serve immediately.
