 batteries, needed to store large amounts of electric energy as produced by solar and wind for example.
In catalytic converters, Vanadium supports the oxidation of sulfur dioxide when it is exposed to air. We recycle those catalytic converters and repurpose Vanadium. So the metal which has been extracted in a cumbersome way does not go to landfill and can be reused again and again.
Vanadium pigments are also useful for the production of the color tone aniline black which can color cotton, silk and ceramics.
On the whole, mining is not sustainable: It is dangerous for people and the natural environment as accidents are frequent. Moreover, it releases dust and toxins into the environment, causes erosion, flooding, deforestation, contamination and overconsumption of ground and surface waters. Health in mining districts and its surrounding are often affected for generations to come, not to mention the current human exploitation. Though guised as an opportunitiy for the poor, they are usually the ones who suffer most from the ecological and social consequences of mining operation. This is why at Environmental Solutions (Asia), we prefer to harvest Vanadium from your industrial waste, as an alternative to mining natural resources.Chicken Caesar Salad Cups are a perfect mini appetizer to serve at your next party. Crispy golden brown wonton wrappers form the cups for this delicious Chicken Caesar salad topped with mini croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Your guests will be amazed.
The Wonton Cups: For the wonton cups, I used store-bought wonton wrappers, which I brushed with olive oil.
The Lettuce: The lettuce of choice in the salad was Romaine lettuce, which I cut into small pieces to fit into the wonton cups easily.
The Chicken: I used grilled chicken in the Caesar salad. However, you could also use rotisserie chicken or whatever chicken you had on hand.
The Dressing: I generally make my own Caesar salad dressing (recipe below). However, an excellent substitute is Ken’s Creamy Caesar salad dressing or Ken’s Lite Creamy Caesar salad dressing.
Mini Croutons: I wanted to be sure that the croutons would nicely fit on the Chicken Caesar Salad Cups, so I made my mini croutons. I cut a baguette into ⅜ to ½-inch cubes, tossed the bread cubes in olive oil, and baked the croutons at 325°F for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
Parmesan Cheese: I finished the Chicken Caesar salad cups with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Making the Caesar salad dressing was easy, with the blender doing most of the work.
I added mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and fresh lemon juice to my blender.
I put the top on the blender and processed the ingredients until they were smooth. This took about 10 seconds.
Then, I transferred the Caesar salad dressing to a small pitcher, covered the pitcher with aluminum foil, and refrigerated the dressing.
For the wonton cups, I brushed the cups of a regular muffin pan with olive oil.
Then, I pressed a wonton wrapper into each of the muffin pan cups. Finally, I brushed each of the wontons with olive oil.
I baked the wonton cups at 350°F until they were golden brown. This took 8 to 10 minutes.
I removed the wonton cups from the oven and allowed them to cool to room temperature.
The final step before putting the Chicken Caesar Salad Cups together was making the salad.
I added the Romaine lettuce and chicken to a bowl. Then, I poured on the Caesar salad dressing and tossed everything together.
One of the beauties of this recipe is that the dressing, chicken, croutons, and wonton cups can be made ahead of time.
Right before serving, I made the Chicken Caesar salad and added it to the wonton cups. Then, I topped each cup with mini croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Then, I sprinkled on some minced fresh parsley for added color.
The Chicken Caesar salad Cups were delicious, and the party’s hit. They were the first to disappear.
The next time you need an excellent appetizer for a party, family get-together, or any occasion, the Chicken Caesar salad cups should be at the top of your list. Yum!
Can this appetizer be made ahead of time?
You can make the dressing and the wonton cups ahead of time. However, you should wait until you’re ready to serve this appetizer to mix the Romaine lettuce, chicken, and dressing for the salad, and add the salad, croutons, and parmesan cheese to the wonton cups.
Unfortunately, leftovers aren’t delicious. The reason is that the salad and the wonton cups will get soggy from the salad dressing.
Can anchovies be omitted from the dressing recipe?
I wouldn’t say I like anchovies and often omit them from the dressing, so yes, anchovies can be omitted from the dressing.
Will store-bought croutons work in this recipe?
Store-bought croutons tend to be on the large size. The actual wonton cups are about 3-inches in diameter, so the large croutons would tend to dominate the appearance of this appetizer.
Can a mini muffin pan be used instead of a regular muffin pan?
Unfortunately, a mini muffin pan will produce wonton cups that are just too small for the chicken Caesar salad. Therefore, you should stick to the regular size muffin pan.
This is my go-to recipe for Caesar salad dressing. However, you can also use store-bought Caesar Salad dressing in this recipe. I like Ken’s Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing and Ken’s Lite Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing.

SGU fans take note of who my sidekick is in this glorious cinematic aberration we made for CineCoup Film Accelerator!Home Movies Inheritance: Lili Collins And Simon Pegg In A Gripping Trailer, Release Date,...
So, how are you all doing?  We need to fight this, and this pandemic will leave a better world for us. During all this, some things are happening, and the world is not locked down. Recently we got to see a trailer of a thriller movie, Inheritance. Don’t, please don’t go into physics all you school students. This is something exciting, unlike what you are thinking.
The movie has a cast that makes the audience sure that it will be worth their time and money. The trailer was enough to give us a glimpse of what is there to expect from the movie. There are actors like Lili Collins and Simon Pegg. Both of them are immensely talented, and they can make even an intermediate level script enjoyable through their performance.
 Yes, we know about many such scripts too. This movie is not the stereotype kind, and this has an angle that you will not expect. Just watch the trailer, and you will know. The film will surely be a competent thriller, and we can say that as we saw the trailer. The film is going to be amazing because of all the things related to it.
The movie’s initial release date is 22 May, that is almost two months from now. There are chances that, just like other movies, it can also face the wrath of delay. The producers of the film are praying that this situation gets better and things reopen soon. Although looking at the conditions in the world right now, we don’t think anything will be normal soon.
The world is learning to isolate right now, and it is the best time to run your marketing campaign. The makers should delay the movie, and it will be a better option as of now. They will have enough time to make a new marketing plan.
