5/12/2012 - Warm Mushroom Salad

Warm Mushroom Salad
Uses from this basket: Spinach
Other produce: Mushroom, lemon  

I know the idea of a warm salad is a little weird, but this really tastes pretty good. 

Serves 4:

Cook 4 strips of bacon, crumple, and set aside. In the bacon grease, cook 1 lb. of thinly sliced mushrooms 4-5 minutes until they are browned and squishy. Line each salad bowl with a generous helping of spinach leaves. Fill the spinach bowl with mushrooms, bacon, and grated Swiss cheese. 

Dressing:

Blend 5 Tb. extra virgin olive oil, 2 oz. blue cheese, 1/4 Tb. lemon juice, 4 Tb. freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and salt & pepper to taste in a blender. Pour over salad.
