Warm Kale and Caramelized Wild Mushroom Salad
This Warm Kale and Caramelized Wild Mushroom Salad features sautéed mixed mushrooms caramelized with shallots and finished with dry sherry, combined with tender kale dressed in a honey, Dijon mustard, and sherry vinegar dressing. The dish balances earthy, savory flavors from the mushrooms with the slight bitterness of kale and a mildly sweet tang from the dressing. Optional crumbled goat cheese adds creaminess to complement the warm salad.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil , divided
- 1 pound mushrooms cremini, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, porcini, etc.), trimmed of woody stems and thinly sliced, assorted cultivated and/or wild
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 2 shallot thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup, medium

Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they've released all their liquid and are browned, about 10 minutes total, reducing heat if oil starts to smoke excessively. Lower heat to medium, and stir in butter and shallots. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and shallots soften and turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add sherry and cook until mostly evaporated. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil with the sherry vinegar, mustard, and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Alternatively, add dressing ingredients to a jar, cover, and shake until emulsified.
- In a large bowl, toss kale with just enough dressing to lightly coat. Add warm mushrooms and toss again. Add more dressing, as needed, to lightly coat all ingredients. Top with goat cheese, if using, and serve. Extra dressing can be kept in the refrigerator for another use.
