Raw Mushrooms Salad Combined With Parsley Pesto

Salad bowl with raw mushrooms and a delicious parsley pesto.

A raw salad and definitely a raw mushrooms salad is a great dish for a bikini body ! I love to add a subtle flavor of parsley and lemon for a delicious combo. It is something I used to eat when I was young.

Nos I understand that eating nutritious raw food will decrease the amount of processed foods I consume. And it increases the amount of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables and my amount of vitamins !

So why not to start with this tasty salad? I am sure you will love it.

What’s in this parsley pesto ?

Nothing beats a pesto, because it is an easy recipe that brings straight away a LOT of flavors. This pesto has parsley, walnut, garlic, olive oil. Simple and tasty.

This fresh raw dish is delish with a tasty (zesty) parsley pesto!

This type of recipe is definitely satisfying for the summer season. I love to eat this salad as a quick lunch (easy for a lunch at work), with some crackers and a delicious quacamole on the side (because I am an avocado lover !!).

Crackers recipes?

Looking for an easy crackers recipe, I have 2 simple recipes you can bake in your oven : gluten free multi seeds crackers or healthy carrot crackers.

They are great with this raw mushrooms salad and its pesto.

Top Tip

In this raw mushrooms salad, I use white and brown mushrooms. They are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten free and very low in sodium.

Yet mushrooms provide vitamin B, D and minerals ! If you want to increase your mushroom intake, you should try my mushroom maniaย bowl too or some veggie thai noodles with mushroomsย !

Healthy raw mushrooms salad and…

Nutritious, delicious and refreshing !
