Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound cremini mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 bunches of fresh arugula, washed and spun dry

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Mushrooms: Choose firm, plump mushrooms with a fresh earthy smell. Avoid any with slimy or wrinkled surfaces.
  • Clean Mushrooms Properly: Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth or use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid rinsing them under running water, as this can absorb excess moisture.

  • Don't Overcook Mushrooms: Mushrooms cook quickly, so sauté them briefly over medium-high heat until tender but still slightly firm.
  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds a rich, fruity flavor to the salad. Choose a good quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Season the mushrooms and salad dressing to taste.
  • Use Fresh Romaine Lettuce: Crisp, fresh romaine lettuce provides a sturdy base for the salad and adds a slightly bitter flavor that complements the savory mushrooms.
  • Add Variety to the Salad: Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as sliced bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes, for extra flavor and texture.
