    1. Step 1

      Toss the mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a salad bowl. Add the herbs and Parmesan.

      Combine the remaining lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, add salt and freshly ground pepper, and whisk in the olive oil. Toss with the mushrooms, herbs and Parmesan, and serve.

Tips
  • For best results, place the cleaned herb leaves in a Pyrex measuring cup and chop by cutting with scissors, pointing the scissors tip straight down in the measuring cup.
  • Advance preparation: You can prepare all of the ingredients a few hours before, but serve the salad right after you assemble it. The herbs will wilt quickly once tossed.Variation: Serve the salad on top of bruschetta.Martha Rose Shulman can be reached at martha-rose-shulman.com.

The directions are confusing;

2 cups fresh herb leaves, such as parsley, tarragon, chervil, dill, chives, wild arugula (see note), all coarsely chopped 1 cup chopped herbs

Is it 2 cups or 1 cup or 3 total?

I am newly widowed thus now cooking for one. Easy fresh and healthy. I will make this but subbing the greens with organic mix of herbs and dark leafy greens...it will be wonderful and comforting.

Holly

It appears to mean 2 cups before they are chopped. Once they are chopped, they should only occupy the space of one cup.

MG

Great flavors. Added mixed greens and toasted walnuts.

Mom

I really liked it. Dad not so much!

DSL

I love this salad! If I want something more substantial, I add a fried egg to it--a perfect Spring lunch!
