FRAGRANT ERNGYII MUSHROOM SALAD

A surprisingly good, appetising salad which is not difficult to prepare.  As the name implies, it is a fragrant salad.  The fragrance comes from the addition of lemongrass.

Here, the lemongrass are finely chopped.  The original  recipe uses blending method to combine the salad dressing.  My hubby says both ways, it is alright.

I wouldn't mind preparing this often.  Awesome and a healthy  vegetarian salad.
