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.
