Field Greens with Parmesan Crisps

Those fresh, spring greens. If you’re looking for a fresh side or a small meal, this salad will fit the bill. Super easy to make and very satisfying!

Here’s How to Do it:

Start by making the crisps. Preheat the oven to 425° –

Grate some parmesan cheese (use real cheese, not the canned).  Make little mound of about 2 Tablespoons of the cheese on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Sprinkle the garlic powder over all the mounds evenly.

Bake for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges start to brown.

Take them out of the oven and slide the parchment onto a cooling rack.

Before the rounds cool, curl a few and let them cool into that position.

Cool for about an hour.

While the crisps are cooling, make the vinaigrette.

Put all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until it has emulsified – and is well blended.

Now assemble the salad. Lay the greens in a salad dish. Add some tomatoes, parmesan cheese shavings –

Toss with the vinaigrette. Top it off with a couple of crisps and serve!
