  • Total Time: 45 minutes (includes chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 250 grams White cup mushrooms, quartered (or button mushrooms with soft stems)
  • ½ cup Red bell pepper, diced (capsicum)
  • ¼ cup Spring onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup Parsley leaves, chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar as a substitute)
  • ⅓ teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
  • ⅙ teaspoon Black cracked pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the quartered white cup mushrooms, sliced spring onion, diced red bell pepper, and chopped parsley leaves. Mix gently to blend the fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice, balsamic glaze (or vinegar), salt, and cracked black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss carefully until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve fresh and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute white cup mushrooms with button mushrooms, but ensure the stems are soft and edible.
  • If balsamic glaze is unavailable, use regular balsamic vinegar as a substitute for the dressing.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  • This salad is best served chilled and consumed within a day for optimum freshness.
