If there’s a salad that combines so many of my favourite things – It’s this one! Mushrooms ( a delicious substitute for meat), creamy avocado, salty olives and cheesy Feta all combine for this beauty, serves with crunchy lettuce 😋

It’s a simple recipe, good looking too 😉, that I can’t wait for you to try.

Ingredients

400g mixed mushrooms
1 large Avocado, cubed
1/2 medium red Onion
1 Large Tomato
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
1/2 Teaspoon Seasoned Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 cup pitted Black Olives
200g Feta Cheese, cubed
Fresh mint leaves
Salad dressing
Juice of 1 lemon
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Roughly chop the mushrooms to manageable pieces. These shouldn’t be too small as mushrooms tend to wilt down when cooked. 😊
Heat up the oil and sauté the mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes, seasoned with the 1/2 Teaspoon seasoned salt and 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper. Set aside to cool once done. 😊
Sorry the lighting was off, but these are the pitted olives I used. You can cut them in half or add them whole to the salad. 😊
So, in your serving dish, arrange your pre-washed salad greens. Starting with the lettuce, olives, onion and tomato wedges. 😊
Then, core and cut the Avocado in half, then quarters and eventually into bite sized pieces/cubes. Add these to the salad. 😊
Now add the Feta cheese cubes and the cooked mushroom. Also liberally scatter a few fresh mint leave for that hint of freshness. 😊
Next, prepare the dressing by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and Pepper – and drizzle it all over the salad, coating the ingredients as much as possible. You’ll be surprised at just how delicious this dressing makes this salad. 😊
Toss the salad, and Voila – Ready! Serve and Enjoy! 😋💕
