Cremini Mushroom and Fennel Salad with Truffle Oil
"Atef Boulaabi, who sells the most unforgettable mushrooms at SOS Chefs in Manhattan, is the goddess of fungi," Mary Ellen Carroll says. Since the mushrooms for this recipe need to be sliced paper-thin, it's important to use fresh, firm ones that won't fall apart. If you feel like splurging on a fresh white truffle, shave it right on top of the salad and skip the truffle oil.
