Want a quick, easy, and tasty appetizer to make for your next gathering? Look no further as this recipe is just what you’re looking for. I’ve been making these for the last two months and everyone, toddlers included, approves of these little Caesar salad baskets. My eldest son specifically requests it and says it’s his favorite salad. I’m glad it’s one of those healthy meals I don’t have to trick my sons into eating and that they enjoy it so willingly…ha ha! We just made these for our New Years’ Eve party last night and lets just say they flew off of the platter and there were no leftovers. This recipe was originally from Rachael Ray. I have adapted it so that all you need to buy are the two Caesar salad bag kits and the Parmesan cheese to make the cheese cups.
Caesar Salad Baskets
Ingredients
6 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
2 bags Caesar salad bags (includes: salad, dressing, croutons, and small packet of Parmesan cheese

2. Working in batches, place 6 mounds (2 tbsp.) on a silicone baking mat / Silpat, patting down to form 3 inch rounds.
3. Bake for 8 minutes and quickly remove from oven.
4. Using a spatula transfer each cheese disc, while still gooey to each muffin tin cavity.
5. Use your fingers to push cheese in, creating a cup out of it.
6. Repeat with remaining cheese.
7. Mix both Caesar salad bag and all contents in a large mixing bowl and cut into smaller pieces using kitchen scissors.
8. Scoop the salad into each cheese cup and enjoy!
