Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Do not rinse with water as mushrooms can absorb moisture.
Slice the mushrooms thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the sliced mushrooms in a large mixing bowl.
Zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl. Ensure there are no seeds in the juice. Set aside.
In the same bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the sliced mushrooms and gently toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the mushrooms.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin strips of Parmesan cheese and scatter them over the salad.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
