To prepare the dressing, in a small skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta until crispy, stirring as needed about 6-8 minutes. Transfer pancetta to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. In the same pan, add the shallot and garlic, cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the vinegar, Dijon and oil. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
