Story

When you're looking for a salad to serve that is really different, this is an excellent choice. Let the salad sit long enough so the mushrooms have a chance to marinade and soften slightly in the dressing.
If you have a lime in the house, go ahead and squeeze a bit of juice over the salad before tossing. Lime juice always brightens a salad up.
