The day that my sister in law brought this salad to our family’s get together, it was all I ate that day. I cared less about the 15 other things that were on the menu. The salad reminded of Mushroom Bell Pepper Salad but with a bit different flavors. The flavor of marinated mushrooms and pickles give it a nice sourness, while carrots with caramelized onions and a bit of sweetness balanced the taste out.

Making this for Thanksgiving this year! Can’t wait!
Awesome, we make it for Thanksgiving and love this recipe. I hope you will love it too.
Thought to give a shout out to you, I know there's another food blogger who posted the same salad after you did, hands down your version is the best! I agree with you, you have to use a marinated mushrooms to give that extra flavor, it makes a nice texture and sourness. God bless you!
Lara, thank you so much for this sweet comment. I do agree that pickled mushrooms are a must 🙂
Just wanted to let you know this was soooo good...The combination of flavors was amazing. I rarely leave comments on food blogs, but this salad earned it ;). I'm making it again to take to a get-together tonight.
Oh yeyyey!!! Thanks for commenting! You have made my day 😉 now I have to come over for get together 😉
Absolutely! Come join us in Boise, Idaho--we'd love to have you 🙂
Would it make a huge difference if I use canned mushrooms that are not salted ?
I think if you use plain canned mushrooms it will not be as great. They have no flavor to them selves. Marinated mushrooms add a lot of flavor to the salad.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU WHERE YOU GET THE SHREDDER?
I got mine at Costco years ago but you can also find it on amazon.
My mama even visits your blog Natalya 🙂 She made this salad for Christmas Eve gathering at my place and everyone loved it. thanks for your recipes, they all are greatly appreciated. 🙂
Oh wow Inna. That's neat that your mom uses the blog. This recipe really needs photo lift!
Nataliya,
We had some left over rotisserie chicken from Costco (I love if I get any leftovers from that).so I whipped this salad and everyone loved it.I had some baguette bread that I didn't want to waste, so I killed two birds with one stone:I spread the salad on the bread.thank you for sharing.God bless you.
