Bengali Mama Ep. 6 Lemon Lime Summer Salad & Romano Cheese Cups Recipe Video

Summer seems to have come a little early this year. The weather has been gorgeous, and it brings the delight of spending many a meal outdoors. This is a very summery, crisp salad of greens, coated in a lemon lime vinaigrette and served inside an adorable cheese cup made from pecorino Romano cheese. p.s. The cup can be made bigger if you'd like, just use more grated cheese for each mound -add salt and pepper to taste to your dressing (I forgot it-I usually add 1/4 tsp) Great for entertaining outdoors as a starter or even a side salad! Enjoy. -Bengali Mama
