For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, oil, shallot, crushed garlic, and honey with pepper and salt in a small bowl and whisk quickly, if possible. Tip: A touch of Dijon mustard can enhance the already delicious flavor of the dressing, but it’s up to each individual to decide. In a cast-iron pan, brown the bread cubes over high heat, stirring constantly, until crispy. In a large bowl, very carefully fold the vinaigrette into the lamb’s lettuce and pear slices. Arrange the finished salad on 4 plates and sprinkle with the toasted bread cubes. Serve immediately with baguette and a well-chilled, dry white wine. Enjoy!
