I made this salad with some grilled chicken and it was delicious! The chicken added a nice protein boost to the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shiitake mushrooms. I had some leftover from making a stir-fry and they worked perfectly in this salad.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it makes the mushrooms taste amazing.
