Thus, we can top this delicious salad with a little creamy cheese without worrying about adding an unhealthy amount of fat. ;) F&W Magazine, February 2006 Edition from the Beauty of Mushrooms.There is a 20 minute marinating time.

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: For grilling, select firm and meaty mushrooms such as portobello, cremini, or shiitake. These varieties hold their shape well and develop a slightly smoky flavor when grilled.
- Marinate the mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste and prevents them from drying out during grilling.
- Grill the mushrooms over medium heat: High heat can cause the mushrooms to burn or become rubbery. Instead, cook them over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Use a grill pan or perforated aluminum foil: If you're grilling the mushrooms directly on the grill grates, use a grill pan or perforated aluminum foil to prevent them from falling through the cracks.
- Serve the mushrooms warm or at room temperature: Grilled mushrooms can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They pair well with a variety of dishes, including salads, sandwiches, and pasta.
Conclusion:
Grilled mushroom salad is a simple yet flavorful dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. The tender and smoky mushrooms, combined with the fresh arugula and tangy dressing, create a delightful and satisfying meal. Experiment with different types of mushrooms, herbs, and dressings to find your favorite combination. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, this salad is sure to impress your family and friends.
