For me, this salad is more than just a dish; it is a reminder of sunny autumn days and cozy evenings. I ate it for the first time at a friend's house, who always prepares it when the first leaves fall and the air gets cooler. The combination of warm, caramelized mushrooms and fresh salad immediately impressed me. The button mushrooms are of course the star of this salad. They bring an earthy, slightly nutty note, which is enhanced by frying and caramelizing. The butter and oil ensure a nice browning and an intense flavor. The sugar and honey in the recipe caramelize the mushrooms and give them a sweet, slightly sticky texture. The Parmesan, ideally freshly shaved, contributes a spicy, salty component that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the mushrooms. The salad itself, ideally a mixture of different varieties such as lamb's lettuce, rocket and romaine lettuce, provides freshness and crispness. The Thermomix® is a real helper here, especially when preparing the dressing and reducing the orange juice. When chopping the onion and garlic, make sure not to set the speed too high so that they don't become mush. When reducing the orange juice, it is important to leave out the measuring cup so that the liquid can evaporate. The cooking time may vary depending on the juice, so keep an eye on it. For a vegetarian version, you can simply leave the salad as it is. If you like it vegan, you can replace the Parmesan with nutritional yeast, which has a similar, cheesy taste. Instead of butter, you can use olive oil to fry the mushrooms. There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to spices. Thyme, rosemary or sage go perfectly with the mushrooms. A pinch of chili provides a pleasant spiciness. Serve the salad as an appetizer or as a light main course. A crispy baguette or ciabatta goes well with it. If you like it more hearty, you can add fried bacon cubes or croutons. The salad tastes best when freshly prepared. However, the dressing and the reduced orange juice can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The fried mushrooms should also not stand for too long, otherwise they will lose their crispness.
