This elegant pear, pancetta and walnut salad offers a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures, making it an ideal choice for a light lunch or a dinner party starter. The sweetness of the juicy red pear pairs beautifully with the salty crunch of crisp pancetta, while the toasted walnuts add an earthy depth. A bespoke dressing, infused with freshly ground coriander seeds and zesty lemon, ties the dish together with a bright, aromatic finish.

As part of a heart-healthy diet, this vibrant salad provides a wonderful combination of healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil and walnuts. The use of butter lettuce ensures a delicate base that doesn't overpower the more complex toppings. For the best results, ensure the pancetta is drained well so it retains its crunch against the soft fruit. Serve immediately for a fresh, seasonal dish that feels truly indulgent yet remains light.

Ingredients for Pear, Pancetta, and Walnut Salad

3/4 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
1 cucharada de jugo de limón fresco
1/2 small shallot, minced
3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva virgen extra
45g thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
1 large head of butter lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (about 1200g )
1 large red Anjou pear, unpeeled, quartered, cored, sliced
40g coarsely chopped toasted walnuts

How to make Pear, Pancetta, and Walnut Salad

Toast coriander seeds in small skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to mortar and grind coarsely with pestle. Transfer to small bowl. Mix in lemon juice and shallot. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.

Heat heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and sauté until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate. Place lettuce in large bowl. (Dressing, pancetta, and lettuce can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let dressing and pancetta stand at room temperature. Cover lettuce with damp kitchen towel and refrigerate.)

Toss lettuce with dressing. Top with pear slices, then walnuts and pancetta.
