Italian Mushroom and Celery Salad with Parmesan and Lemon Thyme Vinegar

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this salad. The combination of the mushrooms, celery and Parmesan works surprisingly well, highlighting the best of each ingredient. We first discovered this salad at one of our favorite Italian restaurants in NYC. This is a great recipe to use your best olive oil and quality Parmesan cheese.

My only suggestion is to slice the mushroom and celery paper thin. Sharpen your chefs knife and take your time.
