Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 12 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Shallot
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 0.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean and dry the baby spinach. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl and set aside.
Trim the ends of the cremini mushrooms and slice them thinly. Set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and finely dice the shallot.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Season the mushrooms with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, diced shallot, lemon juice, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. This will be the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the red wine vinaigrette over the spinach in the salad bowl. Toss gently to coat the spinach evenly.
Divide the dressed spinach among four serving plates. Top each plate with a portion of the warm sautéed mushrooms.
Garnish each salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and a final drizzle of the vinaigrette, if desired. Serve immediately.
