  • Make a simple Gourmet Salad in minutes

    Make a simple Gourmet Salad in minutes | Parmesan Cheese

    Are you all worked up while creating the perfect gourmet salad? Getting confused about where to begin ?

    A good salad can uplift any meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner… be it even a sandwich or a soup! But to make a gourmet one… as an accompaniment can be intimidating sometimes.

    We begin by thinking the steps… Do I need to add a salad dressing maybe? Some veges maybe? Should they be raw or grilled? Should I add some nuts or seeds? What will make this salad gourmet. And while thinking of all this, one might just postpone it to another day… 😅

    Heres a super simple recipe for making a Gourmet Salad in minutes:

    Step 1

    GREENS get any fresh leaves or lettuce that you may want to use in the salad. I sometimes use radish greens or beet greens as well.

    Step 2

    Toss with olive oil, salt pepper

    Step 3

    Add any good quality Parmesan cheese. If you dont have that use any Hard cheese. And that’s it! As simple as that! A good cheese can make your simple salad, completely gourmet! Enjoy!

    Now use this as a base salad, and build on it. you could add more condiments, herbs, vinaigrettes, sauces, nuts, seeds, fruits, grilled vegetables, dried fruits, anything you want! But if you don’t want to complicate, just go with the simple recipe above

    My savoury tastebuds get tingling & super excited with Gourmet Dishes that use Cheese! Especially when Im in a cooking mood at home! Today I made this brilliant grilled Halloumi Cheese salad, with a mustard dressing.

    Cooking with Haloumi is the most satisfying feeling! The sizzling sound… the sight.. the texture while turning the cheese in the pan. And finally biting into that squeaky Cheese… Oooo… 😋🤩

    Grilled Halloumi Salad is a brilliant salad that goes on a side of any Rice main course. It can work as a starter dish on its own as well!!

    Here is the Recipe!

    Ingredients
    Rommaine lettuce, or any lettuce other than iceberg lettuce
    Mustard Sauce
    Olive
    Extra virgin Olive oil
    Lemon
    Salt & Pepper
    Balsamic Vinegar (Optional)
    Honey

    Method
    1) Make the dressing: Mix together Mustard Sauce, Salt, pepper, honey, lemon (add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick… you should be able to drizzle it.)

    2) Tear the lettuce leaves and layer them on a plate. On each layer drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and the mustard dressing.

    3) Place a pan on high, add extra virgin olive oil. Once you see a slight smoke, lower the heat to medium & grill the halloumi cheese slices, till golden brown. It takes a few seconds usually if the pan is hot. So as soon as you place the cheese, in a few seconds check if its carmelized.

    TIP: High flame is needed so that the Cheese gets Golden without leaching out the moisture.

    4) Gently place the Hallomi Cheese from the pan on to the lettuce leaves. Drizzle a dash of balsamic vinegar or glaze on top. (if you dont have balsamic… serve as it is!)

    Enjoy!
