We love to make this strawberry salad when there are plenty of fresh greens to pick. I serve it as a side salad, or make it an entree by topping it with chicken. -Sara Longworth, Worcester, Massachusetts

STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD IN CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS



Strawberry-Arugula Salad in Crispy Parmesan Cups image

The best part of this salad is the edible bowl it's served in. Parmesan cheese becomes crispy after it's baked and an upside-down muffin pan is the perfect pan for creating the edible cups. If you don't plan to serve the salad right away, leave the salad undressed and the cups unfilled so they don't become soggy.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallot (from 1 large)
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Turn a muffin tin upside down and coat the bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Form 3 (1/3-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the silicone mat and pat out each to a 5-inch circle. Bake until the cheese melts and is browned and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Working with one circle at a time, quickly lift each round of cheese to the muffin tin, gently pressing the edges to create a dome. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese. Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together the honey, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss together the arugula, strawberries, parsley, green onions and pecans in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. To serve, place the Parmesan cups onto serving plates and divide the salad evenly among them.
