2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tsp sugar
5g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
150g
1/2 red onion
80g
1 avocado
200g
4 cups arugula
80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 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.
2. Marinate the Mushrooms:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Salad Ingredients:
- 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.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- 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.
5. Final Toss:
- Gently toss the salad ingredients together, making sure the marinade is evenly distributed among all the components.
6. Serve:
- 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.
