- Shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, parsley and spring onions.
- Cut the lettuce heads in half lengthwise leaving them attached to the core.
- Place 2 halves of Little Gem or one half head of Romaine cut side up on each of 4 salad plates.
