Cooking Notes
The simple ingredients in this salad belie an absolutely refreshing taste and texture. You are not misreading a call for white mushrooms which again underscores that simple is often the best. When each of the components is at its peak, there is nothing better. I keep making this salad.
One of my favourite salad recipes! I always add some coarsely chopped walnuts, and if you don’t have arugula try with lamb's lettuce, tastes also very delicious.
Turned this into a pasta salad by increasing the volume of dressing and adding cooked, drained, rinsed pasta. Very good!
this is actually so good, as someone who doesn't eat salad. I used way more dressing though, and it was so good
I happened to have all these ingredients (except the Parmesan) and wasn’t sure how/if to combine them. Decided to try this recipe, and it is delicious (even without the parm)!! Great combo
This salad isn't pretty, but it's super delicious. I was amazed.
Reading the recipe, I was skeptical, but the reviews convinced me to give it a try. Really good! I'll definitely make it again. A nice change from standard green salad.

Does anyone know how this might work with yuzu juice and zest?
