What better way to welcome spring than to toss crunchy celery and peppery parsley with umami-rich sautéed mushrooms. I love using a mix of cremini and shiitake caps in this salad, but even white button mushrooms will deliver flavor to spare.

Serves: 4
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
