ZESTY MUSHROOM SALAD
This is not for fans of bland food! It's a bit spicy for me, but my BF loves it so I must be doing something right. It's (yet again) from the Famous Brand Names Cookbook.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, flavorful mushrooms. The type of mushroom you use will greatly affect the taste of your salad, so be sure to choose ones that are firm and have a nice earthy flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are browned and tender. This will bring out their umami flavor and make them even more delicious.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing will complement the mushrooms without overpowering them.
- Add some fresh herbs or greens for extra flavor and texture. Arugula, spinach, and basil are all good options.
- Serve the salad immediately. Mushroom salad is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
