2 tsp (4g) fresh herbs (tarragon, thyme, basil or marjoram)
3 Tbs (45mL) balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
6 cups (135g) baby spinach, rinsed
Grated cheese (Parmesan, Romano or Asiago)*
Enoki mushrooms (optional)
Directions
Rinse mushrooms. Remove stems and save for stock. Chop or slice
mushrooms, depending upon size. Remove gills from the portobellos.
Heat 2 Tbsp (30mL) olive oil in a skillet and sauté garlic
carefully for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms (except enoki) and cook, stirring until they begin to
release their juices. Add soaking liquid and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to slightly reduce
liquids. Add herbs, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Place spinach in a large salad bowl. Top with mushrooms and their
sauce. Toss well to slightly wilt spinach. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve garnished with grated cheese and enoki mushrooms.
* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized
salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn. The egg
protein lysozyme is an unlabeled additive in some cheeses. People allergic to eggs should
eliminate any cheese in this recipe.
