Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Salad

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved

Garlic Dressing

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the sliced mushrooms evenly on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified to create a zesty garlic dressing.
  3. Toss Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale and roasted mushrooms. Pour the garlic dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat the kale evenly.
  4. Add Parmesan: Finally, sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad just before serving to add a sharp, savory flavor and a touch of elegance.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove kale stems as they can be tough and fibrous.
  • Use cremini or button mushrooms for best texture and flavor.
  • For a vegan version, omit Parmesan or substitute with a plant-based cheese.
  • The salad can be served immediately or chilled for 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
