Ingredients:

2/3 cup olive oil
160g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup mushrooms
230g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
6 shallots
300g
5 cups arugula
100g
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and salsa sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
2. Marinate the Vegetables:
- Add the sliced mushrooms and thinly sliced shallots into the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Let the mushrooms and shallots marinate for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows them to absorb the flavors.
3. Prepare the Salad Base:
- While the vegetables are marinating, rinse and dry the arugula. Place it in a large salad bowl.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the arugula.
4. Combine Everything:
- After the mushrooms and shallots have marinated, add them to the salad bowl with the arugula and tomatoes. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
5. Add Fresh Herbs:
- Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss everything together gently to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
6. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately as a light and flavorful salad.

Tips:

- Make sure to let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

- Use fresh, high-quality olive oil and vinegar for the best taste.

- Feel free to adjust the salsa sauce based on your preferred level of spiciness.

- Gently toss the arugula into the salad just before serving to keep it crisp and fresh.

- Chop the parsley finely to distribute its fresh flavor evenly throughout the salad.

- You can add some crumbled feta or goat cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

This marinated mushroom and tomato salad is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare. The combination of different flavors and textures makes it an extraordinary dish that will surely impress your guests. Enjoy this salad as a refreshing entrée, a delightful side dish, or even a healthy lunch. Happy cooking!
