Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

Are you wondering what I am doing here with a mushroom salad when the rest of the country is eating pumpkins and sipping the pumpkin latte? Well, I was going to make a pumpkin dish as well…  But… Changed my mind and decided to bake a squash. Technically, they belong to the same family, so I thought it would be totally fine 🙂 However, by the time almost everything was served, the squash just did not want to get cooked… So, we decided to make a quick switch to the warm mushroom salad instead 🙂

Oh, you still don’t see a connection between a pumpkin/squash and mushrooms?

Me either. But we had fresh mushrooms in the fridge, and we had fresh greens from the garden. So, at that moment it was just a perfect quick meal that we could easily make in a blink of an eye. And, since we are all in a hurry to get ready for the Thanksgiving Day in Canada, here is the recipe!

Warm Mushroom Salad with Pine Nuts and Greens

This salad was inspired by a warm mushroom salad I ate many years ago in a restaurant in Tel-Aviv. It was sooo good! We use White Button Mushrooms, but you can use any mushrooms you like. Pine nuts, on the other hand, are a very important ingredient!

Seriously!

The salad won’t be the same without them.

Of course, if you have an allergy to any kinds of nuts, please do not use them 😉

So, we start with the pine nuts. Heat a frying pan and roast pine nuts in for a minute. They burn easily so do not overdo them 🙂

Remove nuts. Add a little bit of vegetable oil to the frying pan and add the onions.

Add the greens and remove from heat.

We have also added a few carrot tops. Did you know they are edible too?

In a bowl, mix the mushrooms and greens with pine nuts.

This is it.

The salad is ready!

Isn’t it cool? Well, technically it is warm, but you know what I mean 🙂

2-3 minutes of washing and cutting the onions, mushrooms and greens, and greens; and 4-5 minutes of cooking. It is called a salad but can be a great side dish or the main meal. Please let me know in the comments if you

I think it is a great meal for busy moms or as a quick addition to a festive table. What do you think? What are your favourite easy dishes that can be made in less than ten minutes?

Do you can your produce? What’s your favorite jam?
