Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild strawberries
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten gently into thin circles, leaving space between each one.
Bake the Parmesan crisps for 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet; they will harden as they cool.
While the crisps are baking, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and sea salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Rinse and dry the wild strawberries and mixed salad greens. If the strawberries are large, halve or quarter them for easier eating.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, wild strawberries, and walnuts (if using). Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Divide the salad among plates and garnish each serving with a few pepper-toasted Parmesan crisps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Wild Strawberry Salad with Pepper-Toasted Parmesan Crisps.
