    I made this salad when it first aired. I planned to have it as a side dish with a steak however, the mushrooms were so deiciously satisfying, I just made a meal out of the salad. I had some of the mushrooms left over so the next day I put them on top of the steak that I had planned for the previous night. OMG. That was heavenly. Now I just buy a mixture of sliced mushrooms and prepare them every week so that I can top anything that I am preparing. So far Iin additional to steak, have put them on chicken, fish, burgers .... I don't have sherry vinegar so I use a splash of sherry and a splash of white balsamic. I notice that Aaron uses sherry vinegar a lot so I think I will invest in a bottle because I use Big Daddy's recipes several times a week. He is without a doubt the best chef on the food network in my opinion. I love him and his beautiful little son Justin and I don't miss an episode.

    This recipe was so easy to make. My husband and I really loved it! We did substitute with cream cheese because it was cheaper and easier to find.

    Good grief this is good! Should be a warning on this recipe: addictive. The only thing I had to complain about? Didn't double the recipe for leftovers! We threw it over baby spinach and served up with gorgonzola steak. My kids were a bit skeptical, but then? Magic.

    My family and I loved this! The blend of mushrooms was perfect and the peppery arugula was a perfect compliment. We had it with grilled NY Strip and asparagus. What a fabulous and easy dinner!

    I made this but lightened it up using plain yogurt instead of the cheese and served it over tilipia with peas.

    I made this recipe the other day and it was fabulous whether it's over a salad or just as a side dish you will not be disappointed, I then folded some of the leftover into my scrambled eggs for breakfast ,it was awesome.

    boil some rotini pasta or ( bite size pasta and add to the salad. and when you rehydrate the shiitake mushrooms, use some of the water from that and add it.about 1/4 cup. WOW it takes this dish to the next level.

    So quick and easy yet sooooooo yummy! The bitterness of the arugala balances so nicely with the mushrooms. This is one of my favorite dishes now!
