Strawberry & Portobello Salad

I don’t know about you, but to me, summer means barbecue! And, well, sun and all that too, but mostly a grill! Not that I personally grill anything, because, seriously, this why we have men right?! I don’t think I have ever met a man that didn’t like to grill stuff… I think there was one summer where my husband was forced nicely asked to literally grill dinner every single day, you know, for like the month or so that it was actually warm here in the great white north!

Anyway, I also really love summer salads, I tend to make a few different ones, but this one had to be one of my favorites, especially because I love portobello mushrooms (on a side note, portobello mushroom soup – totally yum!!).

Ingredients:
Baby Spinach (any type of greens, Romano lettuce, or Arugula – I like to use bitter greens for this)
Strawberries
Portobello mushrooms
Vidalia Onion Dressing (I bought it in a bottle, but if you feel adventurous you can make your own!)
Cucumbers

Guidelines:

Toss chopped strawberries, cucumbers, and greens together in a bowl.
In a saucepan, saute the mushrooms in olive oil, until cooked to your liking.
When you’re serving the salad, add the dressing and then add the mushrooms on top (you could let it cool for a bit, but I actually prefer it warm).
Done!
