This salad is made with blanched broccoli, fried pancetta, walnuts, and dried cranberries in a creamy mascarpone-mayonnaise dressing. It's important not to overcook the broccoli to keep it juicy, crisp, and bright green. The fat rendered from frying the pancetta is also used in the dressing for a wonderful flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Place a bowl of ice water nearby. Add the broccoli to the pan and blanch for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the ice water to cool. Drain thoroughly.
  2. Place the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and salt with a rubber spatula. Add the broccoli, pancetta, remaining fat, cranberries, walnuts, and Gorgonzola. Mix well, distributing all ingredients evenly.
