Mushroom and Arugula Salad

17/11/2023

The mushroom and arugula salad is a fresh and light dish, ideal as an appetizer or side dish. Here’s what you need and how to prepare it:

Ingredients

200 g of fresh champignon mushrooms
100 g of arugula
50 g of Parmigiano cheese flakes
Lemon juice (to taste)
Extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Clean the champignon mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any residues of soil. Avoid washing them under water as they would absorb moisture and lose texture. Slice them thinly.
Wash and thoroughly dry the arugula leaves, then place them in a large bowl or directly on individual plates.
Add the thinly sliced mushrooms on top of the arugula.
Dress the salad with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to your taste. The lemon, besides adding freshness, will prevent the mushrooms from turning dark.
To finish, add Parmigiano cheese flakes on top of the salad. The combination with mushrooms is truly delicious and adds a flavorful note to the dish.
Gently mix the salad before serving, so that the dressing is evenly distributed.

Curiosity

Arugula, in addition to being rich in flavor, also has beneficial properties: it’s a boon for the digestive system and an excellent source of vitamins A and C. The combination with mushrooms, which are light but full of flavor, makes this dish not only tasty but also healthy.

If you want an extra touch, you can add some halved cherry tomatoes or walnuts for a crunchy contribution. Enjoy your meal!
