Italian bread and mushroom salad with pecorino for IHCC

This week I Heart Cooking Clubs is exploring Diana Henry's range of dishes featuring curds - yoghurt, labneh and other cheeses. Now, Diana has loads of appetising yoghurt and labneh recipes, but I had a piece of particularly nice aged pecorino cheese, so I wanted to feature that.

Paul commented that this mushroom salad tasted very old-fashioned - and it does, in a good way. Very simple lemon and olive oil dressing, with chunks of toasted bread and beautifully fresh mushrooms, given a salty, creamy lift with the pecorino. We had it as a side dish with steaks, but it would be just as good with roast chicken.

Good pecorino can definitely make a salad. This sounds great!

i'd be the freak picking out all the mushrooms to get to more of the GOOD stuff! ;)

I like the sound of a good old-fashioned mushroom salad! I can just imagine how lovely this would be with roast chicken.

I love the combination of flavors and ingredients in this salad. Old-fashioned works for me. (And I'll eat the extra mushrooms from Grace!) ;-)

That sounds like a perfect winter salad, delicious with any roast meat.

I appreciate that you chose your recipe around some good pecorino you had on hand. A good pecorino is actually better than parmesan to me! You picked THE PERFECT recipe and I can imagine it being equally wonderful with steak and chicken. Looks delicious!
