    Substitutions

    • Parmesan - Freshly grated parmesan cheese can be substituted for shaved parmesan. Use authentic parmigiano reggiano for ultimate flavor and try to avoid the pre-shredded varieties.

    Variations

    • Add flavor - Take this salad to the next level by adding some toasted pine nuts or prosciutto.

    Equipment

    • Salad bowl
    • Salad tongs
    • Colander
    • Oil and vinegar dispensers
    • Potato peeler

    Storage

    Store salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator without dressing. If the salad is moist from being washed, place a paper towel on top of it to draw out the moisture.

    Top tips

    Buy pre-washed and ready to eat lettuce to save time.

    Only use freshly squeezed lemon in this recipe.

    Have leftover ingredients?

    • Use leftover dressing as a marinade for chicken or brush it on top of broiled fish.
    • Extra lemons can be used to make this creamy lemon parmesan risotto.
    • Shaved parmesan can be added to any Italian salad, soup, or pasta platter.

    What are the benefits of eating lemons?

    • Lemons help with digestion and contain vitamin C. While there are many positive health benefits, be careful not to consume too many. Since they are highly acidic, they can damage your teeth.
