Mushroom and Spinach Salad
I make this mushroom and spinach salad when I want something healthy, easy and clean in flavors. It takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare and is great as a side dish (see oshitashi for another great side dish), or you can add your own protein (fish, grilled chicken, beef) and turn it into a main.
