A refreshing and healthy salad featuring arugula, fresh mint, shaved fennel, steamed beets, sautéed shiitake mushrooms and garlic, topped with cheese and dressed with olive oil and lemon.
Sauté the shiitake mushrooms and minced garlic in a pan until cooked through and warm. In a large bowl, assemble the raw ingredients: arugula, freshly chopped mint, shaved fennel, and steamed beets. Top the raw ingredients with the warm sautéed mushrooms and garlic, then sprinkle with shaved goat cheese or hard vegan cashew/rice cheese. Drizzle generously with olive oil and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the salad. Toss all ingredients gently to combine and serve immediately.
