Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel, then slice them into thin pieces.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
While the mushrooms are cooking, mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, whisking them together to create the vinaigrette.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from heat and let them cool slightly.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the cooled mushrooms along with the fresh thyme leaves.
In a large salad bowl, toss together the baby spinach, sautéed mushrooms, and the prepared vinaigrette until everything is well combined.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and toss lightly to incorporate.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for up to 1 hour for a chilled version.
