Fresh Mushroom Salad
Finely sliced mushrooms, lemon juice, parsley and garlic make this Fresh Mushroom Salad a simple side dish with plenty of flavour. Kathleen Ryan contributed the recipe to the Tully Family Cookbook, where the mushrooms are lightly dressed with oil, left briefly to absorb the flavour, then finished with lemon juice, pepper and parsley before serving with lettuce. It is quick, fresh and well suited to a barbecue table, picnic lunch or light family meal. The recipe has a practical, minimal style that lets the mushrooms do most of the work.
