Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large salad bowl, add baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced cucumber. Thinly slice half of a red onion and add it to the bowl as well.
