How To Make simple mushroom and celery salad
-
Step 1This salad is a serving for one. It may be multiplied to feed any number of servings.
-
Step 2Wash,dry and slice celery into thin "eyebrow shapes. Add to a salad bowl.
-
Step 3Gently wash, pat dry, trim away the stem tips and slice the mushrooms thinly. Add to bowl with Celery.
-
Step 4Measure and add the cheese to the salad in the bowl. If you don't have the shredded blend you can use fresh grated Romano and or Parmesan Cheese or I have also used plain crumbled Feta cheese. Do not use the powdered parmesan cheese in the can.
-
Step 5Toss the salad in the bowl.
-
Step 6Add the dressing just before serving. I use bottled Greek Dressing. The dressing tends to "cook" the mushrooms after a few hours and they become soft.
-
Step 7A simple oil and vinegar dressing can also be used. Or if you prefer, just a splash of olive or avocado oil may be used.
-
Step 8To make the salad ahead, simply make the recipe to step 5 and then store in the fridge up to 5 days in a covered container.
