This salad was so yummy and really impressive looking with the frico cup. Thanks Giada for the recipe! Before eating it, break the cup into pieces and eat with the salad inside...

- Working very quickly, use a thin spatula to transfer the Parmesan Frico to a muffin tin. Gently place a small drinking glass on top of the Frico to mold it into the shape 1 of the muffin cups. Continue with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes.
- For the Citrus Vinaigrette:
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar or a tight-sealing plastic container. Shake to blend.
- For the Spinach Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine. Divide the salad among the Parmesan Frico Cups and serve immediately.

Terrific Luisa!Is it really tricky getting the baked cheese into the muffin cups in one piece??
Love the presentation and vinaigrette sounds very refreshing. I could also use romaine or butter lettuce instead of spinach, right? Am printing this...more

Love that dressing!! I have made the Parmesan crisps before but never thought about shaping them.. Very cool idea. Can I assume you would have to make them in small batches?
