Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium leeks (3 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
2 oz thinly sliced pancetta, chilled
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Cut off dark green tops of leeks and trim root ends. Halve each leek lengthwise to within 2 inches of root end. Rinse well under cold running water to wash away sand. Cover leeks with cold water in a 12-inch heavy skillet. Add salt and simmer leeks, uncovered, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer leeks to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • While leeks simmer, finely chop pancetta, then cook in 1 tablespoon oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until emulsified. Add leeks and gently toss to coat. Serve topped with pancetta and parsley.

This leek vinaigrette is my new favorite side dish. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I love the way the leeks and vinaigrette complement each other.

This leek vinaigrette is the perfect summer dish. It's light and refreshing, and it's a great way to use up fresh leeks from the garden. I like to serve it with grilled chicken or fish.

This leek vinaigrette is a great dish to serve at a potluck or party. It's easy to make and can be served warm or cold. I like to make a big batch of it and then bring it to gatherings.

The vinaigrette dressing on this leek vinaigrette was too vinegary for my taste. It overpowered the flavor of the leeks. I think I would have liked it better if the dressing had been made with less vinegar.

This leek vinaigrette was a bit bland for my taste. The leeks were cooked well, but they needed more flavor. I think adding some herbs or spices to the vinaigrette dressing would have helped.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, so I didn't enjoy this dish as much as I thought I would. The leeks were a bit too strong for my taste, and the vinaigrette dressing didn't do much to improve the flavor.

This leek vinaigrette is a great dish to serve at a dinner party. It's elegant and delicious, and it's sure to impress your guests. I like to serve it with a glass of white wine.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy side dish. The leeks cook in just a few minutes, and the vinaigrette dressing is made in a blender. I often make this when I'm short on time.

This leek vinaigrette is a healthy and flavorful side dish. The leeks are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and the vinaigrette dressing is made with olive oil, which is a healthy fat. I like to serve this with grilled chicken or fish.

I love leeks, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The leeks are cooked perfectly, and the vinaigrette dressing is the perfect complement. I often add a bit of crumbled bacon or goat cheese for a little extra flavor.

Easy and delicious! I've never cooked leeks before, but this recipe made it easy. The vinaigrette dressing was simple to make and added a nice touch of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This leek vinaigrette was a delight to make and even better to eat! The leeks were perfectly tender and flavorful, and the vinaigrette dressing was light and tangy. I served it as a side dish with grilled salmon, and it was a hit with the whole famil
