Ingredients

Baskets

  • 1 pound Parmesan cheese, grated coarsely using a box grater (500 g)

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts (50 mL)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard(15 mL)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (50 mL)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (50 mL)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (50 mL)
  • 1/4 cup prepared mayonnaise (50 mL)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens (1L)

Directions

Baskets

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. Line baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
  3. Place 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese in piles on the baking sheet, no more than 4 per sheet. Bake for approximately 5 to10 minutes, watching closely, until melted and bubbling.

Handle with care, it will be fragile.
