The “hardest” part of this recipe is sautéing the mushrooms just right. Mushrooms are also the most special part of this quick and easy salad, they create a base layer for the milder feta and sweet strawberries.

• Spring mix or spinach
• fresh strawberries
• feta cheese
• mushrooms
• red pepper flakes
• salt
• olive oil

1. Slice and about a pound of mushrooms I used button and portobello varieties.
2. sauté on high in a tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle in salt and pepper flakes to taste
3. reduce heat and let simmer until liquid has reduced – then cool
4. build your salad: portion section in fresh ingredients – i find that keeping each ingredient in its own pile to keep from touching gives the best result for meal prep. (mix when you’re about to enjoy)
