Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 6 cups)
1 orange, cut into segments
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the Parmesan Frico Cups:
  • Place a silpat mat on a baking sheet. Place 6 (1/4-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the mat and gently tap down until each mound is flat and 4 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Working quickly, use a thin spatula to transfer the Parmesan Frico to a muffin tin. Gently place a small drinking glass on top of the Parmesan Frico to mold it into the shape 1 of the muffin cups. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes. Continue with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • For the Citrus Vinaigrette:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a jar or a tight-sealing plastic container. Shake to blend.
  • For the Spinach Salad:
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine. Divide the salad among the Parmesan Frico Cups and serve immediately.

I had a hard time finding Parmesan cheese that was hard enough to grate for the frico cups. I ended up using a pre-shredded Parmesan cheese and it worked fine.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
