Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, and shiitake)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 100 grams baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, shaved
Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms. If you are using mixed varieties, ensure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, roughly 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the lemon juice and Dijon mustard, and season with salt and black pepper.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes until the cream thickens slightly. Stir occasionally during this time.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the baby spinach leaves with the creamy mushroom mixture.
Garnish the salad with chopped fresh parsley and shaved parmesan cheese.
Serve the Keto Creamy Mushroom Salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if you prefer a cold salad.
