Ingredients

• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms

• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 Cucumber
• 1 Red bell pepper

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and slice them thinly.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Wash and dry the mixed greens, then place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Add these vegetables to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the vegetable mix in the salad bowl.

Step 6

In a small jar or bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well to create a smooth vinaigrette.

Step 7

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together gently to coat the greens and vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Top the salad with the sautéed mushrooms and freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mushroom Veggie Salad as a light, healthy dish!
