Spinach Salad with Marinated Shiitakes and Red Onions

This is good stuff. I love my shiitakes and will eat them in any form. I added some toasted almond slices on top and took it to another level :-) Would love to hear your comments after you make it!

2 Tbsp coconut oil
2 C sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 tsp braggs liquid aminos
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
dash of hot pepper flakes
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 C diced red onion
6 C spinach
2 C purple cabbage
(1 C toasted sliced almonds)

Heat coconut oil in pan, add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add braggs and and cook until dry. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. Add vinegar, s&p, and hot pepper flakes. Cool completely.
Add olive oil to the pan and saute onion over low heat stirring frequently for about 5 to 7 minutes. Cool.
Toss mushrooms, onions, spinach, and cabbage together with vinaigrette. Top with toasted almonds.

  1. Thanks for the great recipe - it sounds delicious. We definitely agree with your passion for healthy cooking. We are also truly committed to eating low calorie, healthy foods.

    We truly developed a love for fruits and vegetables that we never thought was possible through eating healthy foods. Now we are always searching for ways to make our old recipes / foods into low calorie, healthy dishes.

    We never thought it would be possible to still have Chicken Marsala, our favorite Asian Stir-fry, Pizzas, Ice Cream, Egg Burritos...etc although now we use substitutes for Butter (use Chicken Stock), Sugar (use Truvia), Bison instead of other Meats, Pasta (use Spaghetti Squash), Rice (use Quinoa) Low Calorie Tortillas and Egg Whites for our Egg Burritos and these are just scratching the surface! There's so many substitutions that we not only have our favorite foods but have so much fun taking on the challenge of creating them!

    Thanks again for the great recipe and look forward to reading more.
