Seasonal Ontario Food

This simple little salad came to me from Julie, via a family cookbook assembled a few years back. Julie is my, um, second cousin? Once removed? First cousin twice removed? Not removed at all? Look, she's a cousin, okay. I admit I had to check the handy-dandy family tree in the front of the cookbook to determine even this much, but I can tell you the salad is very nice, and I make it quite regularly.

4 servings
1 hour 15 minutes - 15 minutes prep time


1/4 cup sunflower seed oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 green onion, minced
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon each salt and sugar

2 cups sliced button mushrooms
lettuce leaves to serve

Mix the oil, vinegar, minced green onion, minced parsley, salt and sugar. Clean the mushrooms, and slice them fairly thinly. Toss them in the dressing and marinate, covered, in the fridge, for 1 or 2 hours. Serve the salad on lettuce leaves.
