Mushroom Salad

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Grains

The combination of lime juice, soy sauce, and honey creates a flavor similar to that of teryaki; Thai Sriracha sauce adds a hint of heat to balance the sweetness. (Cooking Light magazine 8-04)

"The perfect winter salad (thought I would definitely eat this year round). For reference when you're grocery shopping, I used about 7 medium s---take mushrooms and half a small red pepper. This is the kind of salad you see prepackaged in high end supermarkets for lots of money!"

The salad is wonderful, the dressing was too tart. I will make this again, but will have to adjust dressing. Maybe I'll try actual teriyaki sauce, or just use less lime. Also I subbed barley for quinoa - still delicious.

A great vegan brown bag lunch! Don't understand the specification if low sodium soy sauce and then adding salt- I omitted the salt.
