We haven’t started growing mushrooms. But this salad features one of our popular herbs. Although a salad that contains mostly raw mushrooms may seem odd, this one is delicious: give it a try! Light and bright, it’s quick to toss together on a busy week night or lazy weekend. It pairs great with grilled or roasted meats.
