Summer is just around the corner, and cooking is becoming more and more tiring.
Also, swimsuit season is approaching, so if you want to stay in shape, we have the solution for you! Let's see how to prepare fresh and nutritious salads with Parmigiano Reggiano.
Arugula with Apple, Onion, and Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano
This salad is ideal for those who appreciate the slightly bitter taste of arugula but can't resist a sweet note to create a pleasant contrast.
Ingredients:
- Arugula

Caesar Salad with Parmigiano Sauce
Despite being a very popular dish in American cuisine, Caesar Salad has Italo-Mexican origins. The original recipe is suitable for vegetarians as it only includes bread croutons, but if you like, you can add chicken for a complete and substantial meal.

- Lettuce
- Grilled chicken strips or bread croutons
- Caesar dressing made with grated Parmigiano
To prepare the sauce, mix mustard with garlic and the juice of half a lemon.
Add mayonnaise, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and salt and pepper to taste.
If you don't use it all, store it in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days.
Mediterranean Salad
Lettuce and tomatoes go together like cream and chocolate, but they are healthier. Let's go classic with a simple salad with Mediterranean hints, enhanced by the woody taste of pine nuts and the winning combination of vinegar and Parmigiano.

- Cherry tomatoes
