Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, finely chopped red hot chili peppers, and sugar until well combined.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to ensure all the mushrooms are coated evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mushrooms marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- While the mushrooms are marinating, chop the sun-dried tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
- Dice the avocado just before assembling the salad to prevent browning.
- In a large serving bowl or on a platter, spread the arugula as the base.
- Evenly distribute the marinated mushrooms over the arugula, ensuring you use all of the marinade for optimal flavor.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and diced avocado on top of the salad.
- Gently toss the salad ingredients together, making sure the marinade is evenly distributed among all the components.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing and flavorful entree or side dish. Enjoy your Marinated Mushroom & Avocado Salad!
Tips:
- Make sure to marinate the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice may not provide the same level of freshness.
- If you prefer a less spicy salad, remove the seeds from the red hot chili peppers before chopping them.
- To keep the avocado from browning, add it to the salad just before serving.
- Use a mix of wild mushrooms for an added depth of flavor and texture.
- If sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil are used, reduce the amount of olive oil in the recipe accordingly.
