Clean the cremini and button mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into thin, even pieces.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper and slice it into strips.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large skillet, heat 30 ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have released most of their moisture.
While the mushrooms are cooking, in a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 30 ml of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined to make the vinaigrette.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red bell pepper, red onion, chopped fresh parsley, and cherry tomatoes that have been halved.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss until well coated.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature as desired.
