Last week in NY was so hot
so hot that people stayed home and tried to cool from the sudden summer..

I was in the kitchen thinking about lunch, but I couldn't decide what to make;
too hot to eat, and too hot to make something complected.

Then I remembered the mushroom salad, that we made during the summer.

I love this salad, it's great on Hummus
or next to steak especially now that the barbecue season just in the corner.
