Ingredients
- 500 grams cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 120 milliliters coconut cream
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 200 grams mixed salad greens
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Stir occasionally and cook until they are golden brown and softened, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
Add the fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to the mushrooms and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the mushrooms with lemon juice. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and coconut cream until smooth to create the creamy dressing.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and chopped parsley.
Step 8
Pour the creamy dressing over the salad, and gently toss until everything is well combined and coated.
Step 9
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh side dish or light main course, enjoying the blend of creamy, tangy, and savory flavors.
