French Style: Mushroom Salad Recipe (Salade de Champignons à la Crème)

This simple refreshing salad is often served as part of a selection of vegetable salads, or crudités. Leaving it to stand before serving brings out the inherent sweetness of the mushrooms. #Variation# If you prefer, toss the mushrooms in a little vinaigrette — made by whisking 60ml/4 tbsp walnut oil or extra virgin olive oil into the lemon juice.
