Ingredients for Pear, Rocket, and Pancetta Salad

• 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar

• 1 tablespoon mild honey

• 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1/8 teaspoons salt

• 1/8 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

• 45ml olive oil

How to make Pear, Rocket, and Pancetta Salad

Whisk together vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a salad bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well.

Cook pancetta in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning frequently, until just crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain (pancetta will crisp as it cools). Tear into bite-size pieces.

Halve pears lengthwise, core, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Add pears to dressing along with rocket, cheese, and pancetta, tossing to coat.
