This Mushroom Salad is a healthy, easy-to-make dish perfect for lunch or dinner. This salad is made with fresh mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, green apples, garlic, nuts and seeds. This salad is not only healthy and rich in nutrients and fibers but it is flavorful and a true delight to your taste buds.
We like to serve this Mushroom Salad with freshly baked croutons, flavored with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. The croutons are really tasty and I usually like to prepare them for each salad.
How to make the mushroom salad
Begin by preparing the bread croutons. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut or rip bread into bite-size cubes. In a bowl, mix the oil with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Add the cubed bread and mix with your hands until the bread is well coated. Arrange the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and place them in the oven. Bake for about 5 minutes, then toss with a spatula and bake for another 5 minutes until golden brown. The croutons will be crispy but not too hard, making them perfect for a fresh salad.
In a medium bowl, cut or rip the lettuce leaves into small pieces. Using a peeler, shred the carrot into long strips and add them to the salad. Add the tomato, apple, and mushroom slices, along with the garlic, hazelnuts, and seeds. Mix everything well.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, and pepper. Stir this dressing into the salad, mix well, and let chill for a bit before serving. Top with the freshly made bread croutons and enjoy your fresh, crunchy salad!
