PARMESAN SALAD BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Mix together the Parmesan and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add to the skillet in a very thin layer and cook until it is light brown, melted and bubbly, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow to sit and cool slightly, 20 to 30 seconds. Loosen the cheese circle by running a rubber spatula around the edge of the skillet. Carefully transfer the cheese to the inside of a small bowl (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 quarts), using the spatula to help push and form the cheese to the shape of the bowl.
• Allow it to cool for several minutes before removing to allow the shape to set. (You can leave it inside the bowl until serving.)
• Place the Parmesan bowl on a plate and fill with the greens. Drizzle the salad with the dressing. Top with the red onion, radish, blackberries and feta.

CRISPY PARMESAN BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, spread 1/4 cup cheese thinly and evenly over the bottom to form a 7-inch circle. Put the pan over medium heat and cook until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Put a small bowl upside down on a cutting board. When the bubbling stops, about 1 minute, carefully remove the disk with a thin metal spatula and drape it over the bowl. Press gently with the spatula so it forms a bowl. Be careful, as it is very fragile. Let cool.
• Remove the Parmesan bowl, put it onto a plate, and fill with Caesar salad. Serve.
