Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Onions

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the red onion into thin rings. Toss the onion slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Once the onions are roasted, let them cool slightly. Top the dressed greens with the roasted red onions and shave Parmesan cheese over the top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side salad.
