Tips:

  • Choose mushrooms that are firm and fresh. Cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms are all good options.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color and flavor to the salad. Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and carrots are all good choices.
  • Make sure to drain the mushrooms well before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors of the salad. A vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing are both good options.
  • Serve the salad immediately after making it. This will help to prevent the spinach from wilting.
