Raw Mushrooms Salad Combined With Parsley Pesto

Salad bowl with raw mushrooms and a delicious parsley pesto.

A raw salad and definitely a raw mushrooms salad is a great dish for a bikini body ! I love to add a subtle flavor of parsley and lemon for a delicious combo. It is something I used to eat when I was young.

Nos I understand that eating nutritious raw food will decrease the amount of processed foods I consume. And it increases the amount of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables and my amount of vitamins !

So why not to start with this tasty salad? I am sure you will love it.

What’s in this parsley pesto ?

Nothing beats a pesto, because it is an easy recipe that brings straight away a LOT of flavors. This pesto has parsley, walnut, garlic, olive oil. Simple and tasty.

This fresh raw dish is delish with a tasty (zesty) parsley pesto!

This type of recipe is definitely satisfying for the summer season. I love to eat this salad as a quick lunch (easy for a lunch at work), with some crackers and a delicious quacamole on the side (because I am an avocado lover !!).

Crackers recipes?

Looking for an easy crackers recipe, I have 2 simple recipes you can bake in your oven : gluten free multi seeds crackers or healthy carrot crackers.

They are great with this raw mushrooms salad and its pesto.

Top Tip

In this raw mushrooms salad, I use white and brown mushrooms. They are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten free and very low in sodium.

Yet mushrooms provide vitamin B, D and minerals ! If you want to increase your mushroom intake, you should try my mushroom mania bowl too or some veggie thai noodles with mushrooms !

Healthy raw mushrooms salad and…

Nutritious, delicious and refreshing !

  • 1 tbsp water (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

MUSHROOMS SALAD

  • Clean the mushrooms and trim them. Slice them thinly, using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
  • Put them in a medium serving bowl and sprinkle the juice of 1 lemon over it (to avoid them to turn brown and to enhance the flavor). Add salt and pepper to taste.

PARSLEY PESTO

  • Place all the ingredients (except the water) in your food processor and blend for 2 to 3 min until you reach a thick paste. Add 1 Tbsp water if it’s not smooth enough.
  • Pour half of the pesto* into the mushrooms salad bowl and mix well until the mushrooms are coated with enough pesto. Add more pesto if needed.
  • Put the bowl into the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate. But this is optional if you run out of time. It is to intensify the flavors.
  • Before serving, add the pumpkin seeds for a crunchy touch !

Notes & Tips

*Leftover pesto ? Keep it in the fridge for some pasta, a tomato sauce, some appetizers, … It will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge and it can be frozen too.
