Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey (if using) to make the dressing.
Place the mixed salad greens in a large bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss gently to coat evenly.
Top with shaved Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

Use freshly grated or shaved Parmesan for best flavor.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier salad.
Try arugula or baby spinach for a peppery or softer texture.
