    ARE MUSHROOMS KETO FRIENDLY?

    Mushrooms are a great keto friendly as they are low in carbohydrates with a 100g serving being just 3g. High in fiber, potassium and low in calories, mushrooms are rich in B vitamins: riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid.

    WHAT KIND OF MUSHROOMS ARE GOOD IN SALADS?

    Mushrooms can be served raw or cooked in salads. If you want to serve mushrooms raw, portobello, enokis, cremini mushrooms and white button mushrooms are best. Cooked mushroom for salads can include button, swiss brown, oyster. Most types of mushrooms are great for salads but the variety will depend upon the recipe and the flavor of the mushroom.

    INGREDIENTS

    The marinade flavors can be tweaked to your own taste for this simple mushroom salad.

    • Mushrooms - we used brown mushrooms for this recipe. Slice or cut them in half.
    • Roasted red bell pepper - we roasted ours on the gas hob but you could use ready grilled peppers in a jar.
    • Herbs - we used fresh parsley and dried basil but any combination of herbs can be used. Try fresh basil, dill, dried oregano or thyme. You could also add a pinch of dried red chilis for a touch of heat.
    • Balsamic vinegar - red wine vinegar could be substituted.
    • Olive oil - avocado oil works well too.

    HOW TO MAKE COLD MUSHROOM SALAD

    This salad needs to be made ahead so that the mushrooms can marinade for a couple of hours.

    Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth or kitchen towel to clean them.
