WARM MUSHROOM SALAD
Steps:
- Clean the mushrooms by brushing the tops with a clean sponge. Don't wash them! Remove and discard the stems and slice the caps 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. In a large saute pan, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan, and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently. Reduce the heat to low and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, arrange the arugula on 4 lunch plates (or on a platter) and cover each portion with 2 slices of prosciutto. When the mushrooms are cooked, add the sherry vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Spoon the mushrooms and sauce on top of the prosciutto. With a vegetable peeler, make large shavings of Parmesan cheese and place on top of the hot mushrooms. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper, and serve warm.

BALSAMIC ASPARAGUS SALAD
For this asparagus salad, allow enough time to let the flavors blend for at least an hour. That's one of the secrets to why it tastes so delicious! If you're short on time, use 1/2 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette instead of making it from scratch. -Dolores Brigham, Inglewood, California

ASPARAGUS & MUSHROOM SALAD
For many years, we have been blessed with an asparagus bed that has grown the most sweet and savory asparagus we have ever tasted. The only problem, is that we usually have it every day while it continues to grow and prosper. I use this salad on a warmish night, when all you can smell is the freshness of Spring.

ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SALAD
I've eaten antipasti like this all over Italy. Sometimes celery is substituted for asparagus, but there's no need at this time of year. Both thick and thin stems will work.

SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
- For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
- Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
- Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

Steps:
- Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
- Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
- Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy. - Boiling: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the asparagus spears. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp. - Steaming: Place the asparagus spears in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. - Roasting: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- Choose the right mushrooms: For this recipe, you can use any type of mushroom you like. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender: Sauté the mushrooms in a little bit of olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and browned.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in the dressing for this salad, so it's important to use a good quality balsamic vinegar. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
Conclusion:
This warm asparagus and mushroom salad with goat cheese and balsamic dressing is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The asparagus and mushrooms are cooked to perfection and the goat cheese and balsamic dressing add a delicious flavor. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
