Sweet, sour and salty summer salad

This simple peach, pancetta and grilled onion salad is the perfect balance of sweet, sour and salty. Make this salad when peaches are sweet and juicy in the height of the season. Roasted onions give it depth and everything is always better with pancetta. At least as far a my family is concerned.

Make ahead of time

You can simplify the final preparation of this salad by roasting the onions, crisping the pancetta and making the salad dressing ahead of time.

I found this recipe in the August 2005 issue of Bon Appétit.
