How to make it
- Whisk together vinegar, juice, and salt, then add extra-virgin oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Cut an X in bottom of each peach and immerse in boiling water 15 seconds, then transfer to a bowl of ice water.
- Peel peaches and cut each into 6 wedges, then unroll pancetta slices and wrap one slice around each wedge, overlapping ends of pancetta.
- Heat remaining oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook peaches in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, until pancetta is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch.
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm, covered loosely with foil.
- Divide arugula and warm pancetta-wrapped peaches among 8 salad plates.
- Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with ricotta salata and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
- Cooks' notes:
- • Dressing can be made 1 hour ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
- • Peaches can be peeled, tossed with an additional teaspoon lemon juice, and wrapped with pancetta 1 hour ahead.
- Keep chilled, covered with plastic wrap.
- *Available at Italian markets, cheese shops, and specialty foods shops.
