Third, Chipotle-Sour Cream dressing! Even though this no-mayo dressing is much lighter than our spicy mayo-heavy-dressings! Please don't take this dressing lightly ;) It is packed with aromatics, smokey taste with subtle tang and creamy texture! scrumptious on all levels!

Last, but not the least, Salad!! my friends! Trust me, if you have never tried chocolate M & Ms in a crisp romaine salad before, you should try it now! When I was working and testing recipes for my Salad Cookbook, the combination of chocolate and crisp romaine hearts with fresh strawberries really blew me away! I'm addicted to it!

But, if you can, how cute and romantic it will be! plus he/she will certainly not expect that on a salad! So unexpected, and surprising for your Valentine! hmmm.... actually.... me too warming up to this idea!!

Parmesan Crisp Heart Cups

Directions

  • 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Step for Recipe - Brunch Salad in Parmesan Heart Cups with Chipotle-Sour Cream Dressing 2. For dressing, in a small bowl, mix all ingredients and whisk to blend. Set aside.
  • Step for Recipe - Brunch Salad in Parmesan Heart Cups with Chipotle-Sour Cream Dressing 3. On parchment or silicon lined baking sheet, spread , 4 portions of 1.5 tbsp parmesan cheese each, in circle bigger than your cup-mold, space at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes.
    Step for Recipe - Brunch Salad in Parmesan Heart Cups with Chipotle-Sour Cream Dressing 4. While cheese is baking, place, up-side-down, four small cup-molds or invert a 6-set muffin tin rack, or invert heart-shape mini-cake pans (as per availability) When cheese is nice and bubbly, work quickly to lift the cheese with flat spatula and place on upside-down cups, press with spoon from sides to make shape. Leave it to set until completely cooled. Additional Notes: Be careful it will be hot. Don't burn yourself! And still work quickly as cheese hardens pretty fast!
