🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
• 12 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 whole Shallot
• 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar

• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Wash and dry the romaine hearts, then chop them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

2. Wipe the cremini mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and slice them evenly.

3. Peel and finely mince the garlic. Finely chop the shallot and set both aside.

4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

6. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, chopped shallot, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

7. Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl. Pour the warm mushrooms and garlic over the lettuce.

8. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

9. Sprinkle the salad with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.

10. Serve immediately while the mushrooms are still warm.
