Cup o veggie salad

One of my favorite ways of serving salad... having a parmesan basket on top holding some veggie goodies...
Pretty easy thing to do, tasty (it's just cheese!), and looks cool--and can be shaped all sorts of different ways. All you need to do is sprinkle a very finely-grated parmesan (or other hard cheese), into a flat (preferrably nonstick) skillet, until it just begins to turn golden--a sign it will harden soon, and then to quickly transfer it atop a curved surface like an overturned bowl and press it gently into the curved shape (careful it's hot!)... and it hardens in just a few seconds, into a thin tasty crisp basket adding flavor and functionality to a salad :P
Then any salad, dressing, and sauteed/baked veggies filling for inside the basket.
