Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse them briefly under water and pat dry. Slice them into even pieces.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the mushrooms for the last minute of cooking. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mushrooms to cool.

Step 4

Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

Chop the Kalamata olives into halves or quarters, depending on preference, and crumble the feta cheese into small chunks.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 10

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Greek Mushroom Salad!
