Equipment
- Large skillet
- Small mixing bowl
- Salad bowl
- Whisk
- Garlic press (optional)
- Cheese grater
Ingredients
- 16 oz mixed mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, and white button, sliced
- 5 oz arugula
- 1 medium shallot finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 7 minutes.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the warm mushrooms with the arugula. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the salad. Serve warm for maximum flavor.
Notes
For a nuttier flavor, try adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
Feel free to use any combination of mushrooms you prefer or have on hand.
The salad can be served as a main dish or a side to your favorite keto entrée.
If you're not a fan of arugula's peppery bite, baby spinach is a milder alternative that works well in this warm salad.
