Edible Salad Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss cheese with pepper. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese mixture into pan to form a 6-in. circle; cook, uncovered, until bubbly and edges are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; let stand 15 seconds., Using a spatula, carefully remove cheese and immediately drape over an inverted 4-oz. ramekin; press cheese gently to form a bowl. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining cheese, making eight bowls., In a large bowl, combine romaine, tomatoes and croutons. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve in Parmesan bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the mushrooms, broccoli, carrot and parsnip on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the cinnamon, smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss until well coated. Make sure the vegetables are in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast until they are softened and caramelized in spots, 28 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, Dijon, shallot, orange juice, remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil into the bowl until emulsified (this should take about 2 minutes).
• Divide the kale among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with some roasted vegetables, chopped pecans and goat cheese. Drizzle with some of the dressing. This can be served warm or cold. Store any leftover dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F - use middle rack.
• Grate enough cheese to use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cheese per bowl - depending on the size you wish to make.
• Cut individual sheets of parchment paper according to desired number of bowls.
• Make an appropriate size circle on each sheet of parchment paper.
• Bake for 5 - 10 minutes depending on size of desired bowl. Watch carefully after the 6 - 7 minute mark - you only want the bowls to bubble, melt and turn slightly golden colored.
• Remove from oven - and carefully using the parchment paper turn the melted cheese over the bottom of the bowl- it conforms as it melts.
