Ingredients

• 250 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 cups Arugula
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese
• 50 grams Toasted walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or brushing off any dirt. Slice them thinly.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and add it to the mushrooms during the last minute of cooking. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mushrooms cool slightly.

Step 4

Prepare the lemon vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, cooled mushrooms, toasted walnuts, and shaved or grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine and ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light lunch.
