This can be used as a side or appetizer. It's a little garlicky, a little lemony, a little tart, a little sweet. It was inspired by a recipe in "The Vegetarian Journal" (Sept/Oct '94)

How to Make Greek Mushroom Salad

Step-by-Step

Place tomato halves in a medium bowl and set aside.
Heat a small amount of oil in a medium skillet. Gently saute mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, don't over cook.
Add garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat and cool. Add to tomatoes.
Mix together olive oil, lemon juice, sugar and parsley in a measuring cup.
Stir dressing gently into tomato mushroom mixture.
Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Check salt and add if needed.
