Christina Holmes

Bitter and bossy seeks warm and sweet: This robust dressing is capable of standing up to—and slightly softening—acerbic greens like dandelion or arugula. (Maybe it’s the bacon….)

Ingredients

4 Servings

2

tablespoons olive oil, divided

2

ounces chopped guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl), pancetta (Italian bacon), or bacon

2

chopped shallots

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4

cups fresh corn kernels

3

tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

1

bunch dandelion greens or arugula (about 8 cups)

2

chopped Medjool dates

Shaved Parmesan, chopped fresh chives (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook guanciale, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add corn and cook 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in vinegar and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Toss greens and warm dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with dates, Parmesan, and a pinch of chives.
