Mushroom & Parmesan Salad


This recipe is a staple in our family and could not be easier to make. I used to hate mushrooms as a child and this salad single-handedly convinced me to start eating them. The parsley adds a touch of freshness to the woody mushrooms and Parmesan and brings the whole recipe together. Perfect for an unusual substitute to the every day mixed greens salad !

Mushroom and Parmesan Salad

Clean and cut the mushrooms in thin slices. Toss with the Parmesan shavings and add the lemon juice. Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and toss with the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
