Mâche and Green Apple Salad with Pancetta and Almonds

This elegant mâche and green apple salad offers a sophisticated blend of textures and flavours, making it an ideal choice for a light lunch or a dinner party starter. The delicate, nutty leaves of the mâche, often known as lamb's lettuce, provide a soft base that contrasts beautifully with the sharp crunch of Granny Smith apple matchsticks and the salty bite of crisp pancetta. A simple white balsamic vinaigrette ties everything together with a bright, acidic finish.

As a naturally dairy-free dish, it is a versatile addition to any seasonal menu. The combination of toasted almonds and golden Italian bacon adds a savoury depth that satisfies without being heavy. For the best results, assemble the salad just before serving to ensure the fresh leaves stay crisp and the apples retain their vibrant colour.
