Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Mixed fresh mushrooms (such as button, cremini, and shiitake)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into even pieces.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a large serving bowl, combine the spinach leaves, sliced red onion, and sautéed mushrooms.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients well.
Sprinkle the chopped chives and toasted pine nuts over the top before serving.
Serve immediately, either as a side dish or a light main course.
