Fresh Mushroom Salad With Walnut Dressing
"This dressing is traditionally served with broiled shiitake mushrooms, but it pairs well with virtually any fresh mushrooms. If you own a suribachi (Japanese mortar and pestle), use that to make the dressing. Otherwise,a blender or even a rolling pin will crush the walnuts. You can substuitute an equal amount of sesame seeds for half of the walnuts, if you like."

directions
- Wipe and trim the mushrooms and remove the stems. Thread the caps onto the bamboo or metal skewers and brush lightly with oil. Broil under a preheated broiler, turning once, for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not over-broil or they will become dry. Remove from skewers and slice finely.

- Arrange the mushrooms in the center of small, deep bowls and garnish with an herb sprig.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
