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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Spoon heaping tablespoons of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten gently into thin circles, leaving space between each one.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Rinse and dry the wild strawberries and mixed salad greens. If the strawberries are large, halve or quarter them for easier eating.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Divide the salad among plates and garnish each serving with a few pepper-toasted Parmesan crisps.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Wild Strawberry Salad with Pepper-Toasted Parmesan Crisps.
