Let's dive into the recipe:
1. Create individual cups to hold the salad by heating small portions of grated Parmesan cheese on a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake until the cheese has melted and starts to brown.
2. Allow the melted cheese portions to cool slightly before placing each one over the bottom side of a mini muffin pan, gently pressing the cheese into the shape of the muffin cups. Let them cool completely, transforming into small, crispy, and edible cups.
3. Toss the greens with your favorite dressing and portion them into each Parmesan cup. For an added crunch, substitute croutons with roasted pumpkin seeds or pistachios. If you're seeking more protein, consider adding chopped chicken or smoked salmon.
