Topped with curls of Parmesan cheese, this salad has a festive look especially suited for the holidays. For the best flavor, use only real Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese—look for the identifying stamp on the rind.
Makes 8 servings
Make Ahead: The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead.
Ingredients For Dressing:
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup olive oil
Ingredients:
• 2½ pounds fresh white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1⁄3 cup finely chopped shallots
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 8 cups (about 7 ounces) mixed baby greens (mesclun)
• One 4-ounce chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Preparation:
1. To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil. (If making the dressing ahead, cover and refrigerate. Whisk well before using.)
2. Just before serving, in a medium bowl, toss 3⁄4 cup of the dressing with the mushrooms, shallots, and parsley. In a large bowl, toss the greens with the remaining 1⁄2 cup dressing. On each of 8 large plates, place portions of the mushroom salad and greens side by side. Using a vegetable peeler, shave curls of Parmigiano-Reggiano over each salad. (You won’t use all of the cheese, but you need a good-size piece to make the curls.) Serve immediately.
