Veggie Ribbon Salad with Walnuts.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. of butter divided
  • 1 tbsp. of olive oil
  • 3 large rainbow carrots
  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • 1 large yellow summer squash
  • 1 cup of mushrooms
  • 1 cup of California Walnuts
  • 1 cup of panko bread crumbs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil, salting the water. In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil and 1 tbsp. of butter.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, slice carrots, yellow squash, and asparagus into thin ribbons. Place in a mesh steamer above the boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Meanwhile, in the pan with olive oil and butter, add in finely chopped mushrooms and walnuts, sauté until mushrooms soften and the walnuts begin to toast.
  • Add in panko breadcrumbs to mushroom-walnut mixture and stir to combine. The breadcrumbs should absorb the oil and butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large pan, add in 1 additional tbsp. of butter and toss steamed vegetable ribbons for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in ¾ of the mushroom-walnut mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat, add to a serving bowl, and top with remaining ¼ of the mushroom-walnut mixture, serve immediately.
