Sauteed Mushroom Salad

Category: SALADS

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small onion, halved and sliced
1 pound white or cremini mushrooms, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 cups bitter salad greens, such as frisee, arugula or baby dandelion greens
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices, 10-12 minutes.

2. Add garlic and thyme and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sherry and cook until mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and continue cooking for 1 minute more. Pour over greens in a large bowl and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
