For the Salad:

16 ounces button or cremini mushrooms Choose your favorite variety for a rich, earthy flavor.
1 teaspoon minced garlic Adds a nice kick to the salad.
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves minced for a fresh and vibrant touch.
2 teaspoons fresh dill minced to brighten the dish.
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Provides acidity and balances the richness.
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Adds healthy fats and depth of flavor.
Salt to taste, enhancing all the flavors.
Freshly ground black pepper for a hint of spice.
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for that savory, cheesy goodness.

Preparation Steps:

Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as they can absorb moisture and become soggy. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces for better texture.
While the mushrooms are drying, mince the garlic, parsley, and dill. The fresher the herbs, the more vibrant your salad will be!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, parsley, and dill. Toss gently to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the mushroom mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad and give it a final gentle toss. This adds a delicious creaminess and depth of flavor.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve it as a refreshing side dish or enjoy it as a light main course.
