Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 50 g smoked belly, finely diced
  • 1 shallot(s), finely diced
  • 1 orange(s), the juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard, medium hot
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 4 tbsp Balsamic vinegar Bianco
  • 2 tbsp parsley, flatly chopped
  • olive oil
  • 4 handfuls of lamb’s lettuce

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Fry the bacon in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until crispy. Mix the remaining ingredients together to make a vinaigrette, but don’t add any oil yet! Before serving, add the bacon cubes to the vinaigrette and either add the fat straight away (this gives it a delicious flavor, but it can get a bit greasy when it gets cold) or complete the vinaigrette with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil instead of the bacon fat. Arrange the salad on plates and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Variation 1: Add a few orange segments to the lamb’s lettuce. Variation 2: Add some toasted pine nuts to the lamb’s lettuce, or both. It also tastes great with arugula!
