Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Red Onions

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the red onion into thin rings and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, add the mixed baby greens. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the greens and toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Once the red onions are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to the salad. Top with parmigiana cheese shavings.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately, garnished with extra parmigiana if desired.
