Arugula Salad with Marinated Mushrooms and Goat Cheese

I've been craving this all week, but have been too sick with a cold to have the energy to make anything.  There's something about arugula that is so satisfying.  This salad is easy to put together and incredibly flavorful.




Salad:

8 mushrooms, stems removed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 handful arugula
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Cover with foil. Roast fo 30 minutes, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes.

Dressing:

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil

Combine all ingredients to make the dressing.

Place the arugula in a bowl or plate. Add the roasted mushrooms. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper to taste. Top with the goat cheese and parsley. Enjoy while the mushrooms are still warm.
