Recipe Ingredients
MUSHROOMS: I used white mushrooms for this recipe - as they soak up the marinade they will naturally turn a darker color. Brown mushrooms will also work. For the most budget friendly version, consider buying loose bulk mushrooms from the grocery store.
MARINADE: These marinated mushrooms are so good because of the tangy dressing. If you're short on time, a simple store-bought salad dressing will also work. You'll want to buy an oil and vinegar combo.
