Sweet and Savoury Mushroom Salad

From The Mushroom Bureau - Cultivated mushrooms are a natural salad ingredient. No need to peel them or remove their stalks. Eaten raw, they have a unique crunch and retain their nutrition. Mushrooms contain twice as much protein and less water than other salad vegetables.

45ml / 3tbsp red wine vinegar
450g / 1lb button or small closed cup mushrooms

200g packet washed and ready to eat mixed salad
50g / 2oz pine nut kernels, toasted
2 crisp dessert apples, cored and sliced into wedges

2. Stir in remaining ingredients and toss lightly together.

3. Serve with granary rolls.
