Directions:
Vinaigrette:
Mix the shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil, then the water. Add the mint; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Salad:
Saute the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring on occasion, until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
Combine the mache, cherries, fennel, and warm pancetta in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing. Divide between plates and scatter each salad with goat cheese and nuts (if desired).
*If mache is not available, substitute with fresh baby spinach or arugula.
Mache is also known as Lamb's Lettuce and is a delicate and tender lettuce with a tangy, nutty flavor.
