Parmesan Salad Bowl

Submitted by Larry E Vaughn

"This idea was the result of a comment on my parmesan crisp recipe stating that they liked to drape the crisp over a coffee cup while still hot to make a little bowl. I was about to prepare dinner, so I thought I would try it. This is a delicious way to serve anything that would taste good with parmesan cheese in or on it."

Brilliant idea, and so easy! I can also imagine making small parmesan bowls and serving a poached egg and something light like finely sliced lettuce in it. Great recipe, thanks Larry!

Awesome! Was the perfect Parm Bowl for a bed of Romaine, drizzled in a homemade Caesar dressing! VERY fancy, but VERY easy!

I have tried this with chedder cheese and made taco salads with it when doing the South Beach diet, parmesan would be great with a caesar salad inside. Thanks for the great recipe.

Thank you for making me look like a gourmet! I served this with a colorful salad inside and my party guests were thrilled! I will make these again and again!
