Giada's Mushroom Salad

Giada's Mushroom Salad

Two chefs who are televised on The Food Channel get my nod for being cooks who use healthy preparation methods with fresh and nutritious ingredients. Giadi DeLaurentis and Ina Gerten have programs that I will take the time to view occasionally as they prepare foods that I would serve my family. Today I watched Giada prepare this salad and thought it looked so tasty that I would prepare it.

Ingredients:
1 pound large button mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned and thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-ounce piece Parmesan

Serving suggestion: assorted French cheeses and Poilane Bakery-style breads

Directions: In a medium salad bowl, mix together the mushrooms and parsley. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil mixture to the salad bowl and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan on top and serve.
