Roasted Mushroom Salad

17 Reviews

“Don't expect conventional nutrients from mushrooms, but they have hidden anti-cancer activity and may stimulate immune function, research finds. Add red pepper's vitamin C, olive oil's good fat, and the antioxidants in basil and garlic for a very healthful salad.” - by USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss mushrooms in 1 Tb. olive oil and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Spread on large baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Drain off liquid. Cool slightly. In a bowl, combine mushrooms, red pepper, basil or mint, and pine nuts.
Whisk together dressing ingredients; toss into mushroom mixture.
Place lettuce on 4 salad plates and spoon mushroom mixture on top.

"Outrageously good. I roasted the red bell peppers as other reviews suggested and used lime juice, because I didn't have lemon. I also used fresh mint. This is the best dish I have ever made...." See more"

"yummy! i did as directed, except i put the finely chopped red bell pepper to cook in the oven w/ the mushrooms, and i didn't have pine nuts on hand, so i chopped & roasted some cashews. while eating..." See more this, i was feeding my baby feta cheese, so as an after thought, i sprinkled it on to my salad. it complemented it very well. i will definitely make this again, as it was so easy!"

"Oh, wow. This was amazing! What is it about garlic and mushrooms that they go so perfectly together? I used basil, and the flavors blended seamlessly. The only things I did differently were to use bab..." See morey bellas and keep the pine nuts raw (I prefer the flavor). And it's so easy to prepare! An absolute keeper."
