Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 250 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt.
Slice the button and cremini mushrooms into thin slices.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the sliced mushrooms and cook them dry, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they release their moisture and become tender. Set aside to cool.
While the mushrooms are cooling, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Peel and grate the carrot into fine strips.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushrooms, bell pepper, carrot, red onion, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled.
