Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 150 grams mixed salad greens
- 150 grams red cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves, chopped
- to taste pepper
- to taste salt
Instructions
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly.
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar to the mushrooms. Stir to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and the mushrooms are well-flavored.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mushrooms cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Add the cooked mushrooms to the salad and toss everything together gently.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil leaves over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Vegan Savory Mushroom Salad.
