Mixed Greens with Wild Mushrooms

This salad makes an earthy companion to light pasta dishes. Look for packages of fresh mixed wild mushrooms in the produce section of well-stocked supermarkets. They contain a melange of three or four varieties, which may include cremini, shiitake, oyster, or others.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

One 6- to 8-ounce package fresh mixed wild mushrooms
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, plus more for salad
4 to 6 ounces mixed baby greens (mesclun), or more as desired
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes or diced flavorful tomatoes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Clean the mushrooms, remove and discard any tough or withered stems, and slice the caps.

    Step 2

    Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil along with the vinegar slowly in a skillet. Add the mushrooms, and stir to coat. Cover and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are just wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving container and allow them to cool.

    Step 3

    Once the mushrooms have cooled, combine them (along with the liquid) with the greens and tomatoes. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and additional vinegar to taste, toss well, and serve.
