Get Your Mushrooms In & Keep Your Brain Sharp With This Salad Recipe
Mushrooms are all the rage right now and for good reason. They're known to strengthen our immune system, support detoxification, and reduce our risk of mild cognitive impairment (the stage before dementia). So naturally, we're finding ways to put them in everything.
This salad recipe, published in Vegetables Illustrated by America's Test Kitchen, features cremini mushrooms, which are high in selenium, ideal for supporting healthy thyroid functioning, and potassium, known to promote more restful sleep.
This light and flavorful salad also includes another fan favorite: celery. Celery is known to improve digestion, calm the nervous system, and make your skin glow. You'll reduce waste by using the ribs and the leaves and will be left with a delicious and nutritious salad!
