Summary
Parmesan Tomato Mixed Green Salad
Recipe Summary & Steps
This lettuce mix was the center of a deliciously simple, fresh salad. I found it at my local Harris Teeter and was attracted to the beautiful array of colors and delicate, intricate shape of each variety of lettuce. I have always been a fan of the more delicate lettuces, butter, bib, etc. Well this variety really caught my attention. Miniature, delicate, beautiful...and just waiting to be dressed up. And so I did.
I happened to have a fresh wedge of Parmesan Reggiano and bought and DID NOT REFRIGERATE fresh cherry tomatoes just for the occasion. The result was a stunningly colored, flavored and fresh accompaniment to our easter dinner.

This is soooo simple, and really relies on the freshness of ingredients to really pack the punch to this recipe. I found a very festive lime-green salad bowl that I love, added the chopped lettuce, and then added the tomatoes and shaved parmesan to the top.
