Directions

  1. Wash and dry all produce; set greens aside if pre-washed.
  2. In a bowl, whisk garlic, nutritional yeast, vinegars, oil, maple syrup, Dijon, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Trim mushroom stems and scoop out the gills; place in the dressing to coat.
  4. Core and slice the pear and add it to the dressing- coated mushrooms.
  5. Add red onion slices to the bowl and toss to coat.
  6. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Cook the mushrooms and onions in a single layer until tender, about 3–5 minutes per side, then set aside to cool slightly.
  8. In a large bowl, combine spring mix, edamame, walnuts, and the avocado pieces; toss gently to mix.
  9. Halve the avocado, scoop into the salad, and add the onions and sliced mushrooms on top to finish.

Two tips

  • Prep ahead: whisk the dressing and coat the mushrooms up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans or another nut you have on hand to vary the texture.
