Baby Lettuce Salad with Parmesan Crisps
Robin concocted this salad when the baby wanted a bag of parmesan crisps at the supermarket—only to decide later that she did not like them! They take on a new life in the salad as an alternative to croutons or shaved cheese. Simple greens, roasted red peppers, crisp scallions, and a nutty dressing complement the crisps. Originally served as part of Post Mother's Day 2006.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mesclun from Farmers' market lettuce (washed and dried )
- 12 ounces net weight, bottled, fire-roasted red peppers
- 1 large scallion (cleaned)
- 4 ounces bagged parmesan crisps (broken into smaller pieces)
- 1 recipe walnut dressing
Instructions
We start by putting the lettuce in a large bowl. On our cutting board, we slice the peppers into strips and dice the scallion. We add these to the lettuce along with most of the parmesan crisps.
We shake the dressing and add most of it to the salad bowl. We toss well, add the rest of the parmesan crisps, and drizzle on a little more dressing.
