ASPARAGUS&MELON&DATE SALAD IN PARMESANO BASKET


 Just a salad.
Easy, or?
Only when you master the art of combining a salad with the right balance between the 4 basic tastes -sweetness, saltiness, sourness and bitterness - 
a whole new world opens up to you.
It's time for Revolution...

Serves 1 (just double the amount for 1 more)

Ingredients:
40g or 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Handful of mixed baby salad 
2 asparagus 
2 dates/ chopped
1 tbsp good olive oil
1/2 tbsp cherry vinegar
2 slices of melon /peeled and chopped
pinch of sea salt

Preheat oven to 200C /400F.
(You can do the parmesan basket also on the pan)

Spread thin circle of grated parmesan evenly on the baking paper. Bake 4-6 minutes in oven until golden brown. Let parmesan cool 1/2 minute and then carefully remove it from the paper. Drape it over a bowl or water glass. Shape it into a cup form.and let it cool. Then remove it from the bowl and voila, you have a parmesan basket.

Snap of the woody ends of asparagus. Cook them 1-2 minutes in salty water. Cut asparagus into smaller pieces.

Fill the basket with salad, asparagus, melon and dates.

Add olive oil and cherry vinegar and pinch of salt.
