For mushroom salad, you will need:

1 large portobello mushroom

1 large ripe tomato

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 small clove garlic, finely chopped

4 basil leaves, finely chopped

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

4 large olives

(Serves 1)

Heat the olive oil and chopped garlic in a small pan until just bubbling. Do not burn the garlic.

Slice the mushroom into 1/2cm pieces. Throw this into the olive oil and garlic, stir well and warm through.

Cut the tomato into bite-size chunks and place in a serving bowl. Add the olives, raw onion and mushroom from the pan and sprinkle the chopped basil on top. Mix well and serve.
