| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tear or cut the spinach leaves into small pieces. |
| 2 | Toss the mushrooms with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. |
| 3 | Place spinach in a salad bowl and top with mushrooms, then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. |
| 4 | Just before serving, toss the salad with the Lemon-Yogurt Vinaigrette (Recipe #16611) dressing. |
Directions:
-
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and tear or cut the leaves into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
-
Next, clean the fresh mushrooms and slice them thinly. In a bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms with the freshly squeezed lemon juice until well coated. This step not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the mushrooms from browning.
-
Now, it’s time to assemble the salad. In a large salad bowl, place the prepared spinach leaves as the base. Top them with the lemon-infused mushrooms, spreading them evenly across the spinach.
-
To add a burst of freshness and color, sprinkle the salad with freshly chopped parsley. This herb not only enhances the flavor but also adds a beautiful touch to the dish.
-
Just before serving, drizzle the Spinach & Mushroom Salad with the tangy and creamy Lemon-Yogurt Vinaigrette (Recipe #16611) dressing. Toss the salad gently to ensure that every leaf and mushroom is coated with the delicious dressing.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy the crispness of the spinach, the earthiness of the mushrooms, and the zesty kick of the lemony dressing. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or a refreshing snack, providing a healthy dose of vitamins and nutrients with every bite.
Notes:
- Feel free to customize this salad according to your taste preferences. You can add additional ingredients such as cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, or avocado slices for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you’re short on time, you can prepare the Lemon-Yogurt Vinaigrette ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete and satisfying meal. Alternatively, you can serve it alongside a bowl of soup or a crusty piece of bread for a lighter option.
- Don’t limit yourself to just spinach and mushrooms! Get creative with your salad ingredients and experiment with different combinations to keep things exciting and flavorful.
- Remember to wash your fresh produce thoroughly before using it in this recipe to remove any dirt, pesticides, or bacteria. Enjoy your Spinach & Mushroom Salad and savor every nutritious and delicious bite!
