Ingredients

• 6 cups Baby spinach
• 12 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Shallot
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 0.5 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean and dry the baby spinach. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the cremini mushrooms and slice them thinly. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and finely dice the shallot.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Season the mushrooms with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, diced shallot, lemon juice, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. This will be the vinaigrette.

Step 7

Drizzle the red wine vinaigrette over the spinach in the salad bowl. Toss gently to coat the spinach evenly.

Step 8

Divide the dressed spinach among four serving plates. Top each plate with a portion of the warm sautéed mushrooms.

Step 9

Garnish each salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and a final drizzle of the vinaigrette, if desired. Serve immediately.
