Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mixed fresh mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 100 grams Baby spinach
- 100 grams Arugula
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 units Red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 50 grams Walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean and slice the mushrooms into even pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme to the pan, cooking until they are golden brown and any released liquid has evaporated, approximately 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the salad base by combining baby spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the mushrooms are cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then add them to the salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Top the salad with toasted walnuts and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately at room temperature.
