How to Make Barbecue Bbq Mushroom And Green Bean Salad

  1. Whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon caster sugar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
  3. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms to the bowl, stir gently to coat, cover, and marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound of green beans in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 2 minutes, or until bright green.
  5. Drain the green beans, immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, drain again, and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into thirds.
  6. Preheat your barbecue plate to high heat.
  7. Grill the marinated mushrooms for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender, turning occasionally.
  8. Remove the mushrooms from the barbecue and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  9. In a large bowl, combine the cooled green beans, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 2 cups baby spinach, and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  10. Add the reserved dressing, the cooled grilled mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to combine and serve.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
