Arugula And Mushroom Salad Recipes

WARM ARUGULA AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from mushrooms with damp paper towel, remove and discard stems and cut caps in half-inch slices.
• Heat six tablespoons oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add onion and saute over medium heat until wilted. Stir in mushrooms, increase heat to high and cook until mushrooms have softened and look moist. Stir in chick peas and three tablespoons vinegar and simmer mixture for a minute or two. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside, off heat, until ready to serve.
• Beat remaining vinegar with mustard and beat in oil. Put arugula in large bowl and toss with dressing. Arrange arugula on each of six salad plates. To serve, briefly reheat mushroom mixture and spoon on top. Scatter cheese on each portion and serve.

MARINATED MUSHROOM AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroom caps and cook until brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir the remaining olive oil, vinegar, onion, water, garlic, coriander, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add the oil mixture to the mushrooms and cook until tender and marinade has reduced, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and cool. Serve now or refrigerate for up to a week.
• Meanwhile, put the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, toss until evenly toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Toss the arugula with the marinated mushrooms and marinade in a large bowl and divide among 4 plates. Shave the cheese and scatter the almonds over the top.
