  • ½ red onion chopped fine
  • 1 red pepper chopped fine
  • 1 jalapeno chopped fine
  • 3 ripe plum tomatoes chopped or half a pint of grape tomatoes, sliced

  • 1 bunch Italian parsley chopped fine
  • 16 ounces assorted fresh mushrooms portobello, cremini, oyster, etc. sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups leafy greens like baby spinach or arugula

Instructions
 

  • Place chopped onion, red pepper and jalapeno in a large bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, juices from limes, lemons and oranges. Stir together well, season to taste. Add cilantro, parsley and mushrooms.
