Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 0.5 cups Caesar dressing
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 cup Croutons
- 1 Lemon, sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Clean the oyster mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the tough ends if necessary.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the oyster mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the mushrooms undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to brown on one side. Then flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons. Toss until evenly coated.
Divide the salad onto individual plates or bowls.
Top each serving with a portion of the sautéed oyster mushrooms.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, parsley (if using), and freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for a zesty finish.
