Ingredients

Scale

For the mushrooms:

8 oz. baby bella (or other fresh) mushrooms, sliced
1 Tablespoon grass-fed butter
3 cloves garlic
Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt) and Trader Joe’s 21-Seasoning Salute (or your favorite no-salt seasoning)

For 2 large salads:

1 recipe of maple garlic roasted tomatoes (recipe here)
4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 hard or medium-boiled eggs
Thin red onion slices
Blue cheese crumbles
Store-bought or homemade croutons (recipe here – optional)
Ranch or blue cheese dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

First, start the tomatoes roasting (using this recipe), then while the tomatoes are roasting, saute the mushrooms. Clean and slice the mushrooms, then melt the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for just a minute, until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle generously with seasoning, then stir, cover and cook for several minutes, uncovering to stir several times, until the mushrooms are tender and juicy. Uncover and set aside.
Medium or hard boil the eggs, then cool, peel and chop.
Assemble the salads: Line 2 large salad bowls or plates with fresh spinach leaves, then top with mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, chopped egg, onion slices, and crumble blue cheese over top.
Drizzle with pan juices from the tomatoes and/or mushrooms and then your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing and enjoy!
