A great summer salad! The mushrooms added a different twist to a classic salad for us (spinach with berries and cheese). I made a raspberry vinaigrette, but couldn't taste much of the flavor of it in the finished dish. That was okay, though, as the berries I had were very ripe and delicious. I did love that this salad required no chopping, slicing, or dicing. Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.

This was a delicious salad! Although I love mushrooms, I think next time I'll opt to leave them out as we felt they didn't add as much to the overall flavor as we had hoped. That's okay though, it'll just be that much easier to make next time! Thanks for sharing, it was delicioua!

Oh this was a lovely salad! I used blackberries instead of raspberries because my supermarket didn't have raspberries, and I used balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of raspberry vinaigrette because that's what I had on hand and it turned out just wonderfully! Made for ZWT III. The best part was the blue cheese...yum I think I used 1/4 cup on two salads! As far as the mushrooms these were so good and so easy that I will be making them and keeping them in my fridge to go on just about any salad! Thanks for sharing!

This is a WOW salad to the max! My whole family enjoyed this one very much, even my son who doesn't really like mushrooms. Super easy to put together and delish. Can't wait to impress friends with this one. I used Best Raspberry Salad Dressing (Vinaigrette) #215827 as the dressing.

What an absolutely delicious salad! I saw the picture of this and knew I wanted to make it. I was only making 2 servings so used a little less of everything, and as I didnt have any raspberries I used red grapes. I used raspberry vinegar which worked fine. This is a definite favourite.
