Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and roast for 10 minutes, or until they are golden and tender. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced radishes, pear slices, toasted walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese to the bowl.

Step 4

4. Prepare the Bourguignonne dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, red wine, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 5

5. Once the roasted mushrooms have cooled, add them to the salad bowl.

Step 6

6. Drizzle the Bourguignonne dressing over the salad a little at a time and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra goat cheese or a sprinkle of chopped walnuts if desired.
