Pine Nuts & Parmesan Side Salad

This is such an easy salad to throw together for a side for really ANY meal!  I came up with this simple recipe by just throwing together what I had on hand.  I needed one more side to complete a dinner a few weeks ago and this was the perfect compliment.  I know it sounds and looks really easy, but the flavor combo made for refreshing and light side salad.

Servings: 2 side salads
Serving Size: 1 salad
Points Plus: 3pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: n/a

Ingredients:

Baby greens

1/8 cup pine nuts

2 oz. Parmesan flakes

Salt & pepper to taste

Fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Wash and prepare your greens and plate out into bowls.  Add the pine nuts to a small saute pan and toast on the stove for 3-5 minutes over medium heat.  Top each salad with a sprinkle of pine nuts and 1 oz. parmesan cheese.  Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste. You can easily add in some veggies to this salad - I think cherry tomatoes would be a great addition!
Tip:

Make sure you keep an eye on the pine nuts!  They can (and will) burn quickly if you aren't paying attention.
