Warm Mushroom and Arugula Salad

Earthy herbed mushrooms mixed with baby arugula, tossed in a light lemon vinaigrette, and topped with long paper thin shavings of salty Parmesan. This makes getting bored of eating salad almost impossible!

Caesar, Greek, blue cheese wedge…I’m always looking for new salads to make.

I love salad but having the same old dressing coated lettuce all the time can give you a case of the salad blues real fast.

That’s why this warm mushroom and arugula salad is so great to throw into the mix! Even though it’s technically a salad, because it’s served warm to room temp it really can double as a side dish.

I’m head over heals with it when paired up with my lemon Dijon chicken, or a super delicious steak, but have eaten it many times on its own because, well….

mmmm mushrooms…

The warmth from the mushrooms and shallots begin to wilt the peppery baby arugula, giving them almost a cooked feel in your mouth without giving away the freshness.
