This has always been one of my favorite salads! The lemon-parmesan dressing has a fresh, zesty flavor! The dressing becomes kind of creamy when you blend it and people won’t even know there’s cheese in there. And because it has the raw lemon juice, it is a great digestive aid for your meal. Remember…we eat to nourish.
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
