Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocado
- 100 grams Pancetta
- 50 grams Pine nuts
- 150 grams Mixed salad greens
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the pancetta slices in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove the pancetta and set it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of one lemon, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Arrange the mixed salad greens on a serving plate or bowl. Top with the sliced avocado, crispy pancetta, and toasted pine nuts.
Step 6
Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices of Parmesan cheese over the salad.
Step 7
Drizzle the salad generously with the lemon dressing and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
