Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad Base

  • 5 cups kale, stems removed and chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Roast the Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until the mushrooms are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: While mushrooms are roasting, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Massage the Kale: Place the chopped kale in a large bowl and drizzle with a small amount of the dressing. Massage the kale with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender and slightly wilted.
  4. Toss Salad: Add the roasted mushrooms to the kale, pour over the remaining dressing, and toss everything until evenly coated.
  5. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the salad just before serving for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan or substitute with nutritional yeast.
  • Use baby kale for a more tender texture if preferred.
  • Mushrooms can be cooked on the stovetop if you do not have an oven, sauté until golden and crispy.
  • Adjust the garlic amount in the dressing according to your taste preference.
  • This salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
