Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake pancetta for about 10 minutes until crispy.
  2. Grill the halved and pitted peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks develop.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, white wine vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Gradually drizzle in extra virgin olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
  4. In a large bowl, add mesclun greens and toss with the vinaigrette. Layer grilled peaches, crispy pancetta, and crumbled blue cheese on top for serving.
  5. Garnish with minced chives and drizzle with more vinaigrette if desired. Serve immediately.
