Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Measure 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese and sprinkle it evenly in a circular shape (about 6 inches in diameter) on the skillet.
Allow the cheese to melt and bubble for 2-3 minutes or until it forms a golden crust.
Carefully lift the cheese round off the skillet using a spatula and place it over an inverted bowl or cup to create a bowl shape. Let it cool and harden for 5 minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining 1/2 cup of parmesan to make the second salad bowl.
While the parmesan bowls are cooling, prepare the salad ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and combine them in a large mixing bowl with the mixed greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Place the parmesan bowls on serving plates and fill each with the prepared salad.
Serve immediately for a fresh and crunchy dish!
