Marinated Mushroom and Zucchini Salad
I love using raw zucchini in salads, but I’m not crazy about the raw taste of zucchini.
Marinating the zucchini for a few hours or overnight makes it absolutely delicious.
Let me know if you agree.
Ingredients
1/4 lb cremini mushrooms – quartered or halved depending on the size
1/4 medium red onion – sliced finely
1 small-medium zucchini – 1/4″ dice
1/2 red pepper – 1/4″ dice
1/2 yellow or orange pepper – 1/4″ dice
1 – 8 oz container cherry tomatoes
handful of baby arugula
