SPINACH MUSHROOM SALAD

Here’s a recipe for fresh spinach mushroom salad.
I had this many years ago in a restaurant in Los Angeles. It was so good it stayed with me. I make it often myself with some small variations.

What you need: spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper.

Wash spinach well.
Put sliced onions and garlic in a pan with a little olive oil.
Toss for two minutes or until light golden brown.
Add sliced mushrooms toss for two more minutes.
Add fresh spinach leaves and toss with mushrooms for two more minutes not more.
Add a few drops of lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Serve immediately.

You may add pine seeds, almonds, walnuts, or raisins and fresh herbs if you like.

BROCHOLLI POTATO SALAD

I made up this recipe myself. You can always build on it and make up your own variations.

What you need: broccoli, potatoes, spring onions, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamico.

Boil potatoes until soft.
(little new potatoes are best for this, don’t take long to get al dente)
Wash and cut broccoli into little chunks.
Boil in little water for three minutes only keeping it still a little raw and crunchy.
Slice spring onions and garlic
(or small regular onions)
Toss broccoli, onions, garlic and potatoes and add olive oil and balsamico.

You may add any of these according to your own taste: almonds, walnuts, pine seeds, raisins, cooked prunes or fresh figs, or even another vegetable, sliced cucumbers, or salad leaves. Make it nice and colorful. Remember you eat with your eyes as well.
You can also replace the balsamico with lemon juice if you prefer.
