Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 50 grams arugula
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 50 grams walnuts
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Clean the button and cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems and slice them into even pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle with red chili flakes. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid they release has evaporated.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach and arugula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.
Once the mushrooms are done, add them directly to the greens in the mixing bowl. Toss gently to wilt the greens slightly.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top.
Drizzle the salad with the prepared dressing and toss lightly to combine.
Serve immediately while the mushrooms are still warm.
