Creamy Pancetta Dressing and Iceberg Lettuce image

I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar and have since made the recipe. It's very good and the only change I made was using 1 teaspoon dried thyme, as I didn't have fresh in the garden. The original poster said this recipe was adapted from Michael Chiarello.

I didn't have any pancetta on hand, so I used bacon instead. It turned out great! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the dressing.

The dressing is too heavy for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter vinaigrette.
