Spinach & Shiitake Salad With Citrus Dressing

1 package (3.5 ounces) Oakshire Shiitake Mushrooms
6 cups lightly-packed trimmed spinach leaves in bite-sized pieces
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup grapefruit juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Trim stem ends of Shiitake Mushrooms; cut mushrooms into thin slices, through the caps and stems. In a large serving bowl place mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes; set aside.

Grilled Shiitake and Vegetable Kabobs with Herb Butter

1 package (3 ½ ounces) Oakshire Shiitake Mushrooms
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 ¼ teaspoons dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups zucchini sliced ¾-inch thick
1/2 cup sweet red bell pepper cut in 1-inch squares
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper cut in 1-inch squares

Prepare outdoor grill or preheat broiler. Remove stems from Shiitake Mushrooms (use in stews, to flavor broths, etc.); quarter mushroom caps; set aside. In a small saucepan place butter, thyme and salt; heat and stir until flavors blend, about 1 minute. On skewers thread reserved mushrooms alternating with zucchini and red and yellow peppers. Place on a rack over outdoor grill or in a broiler pan, 3 inches from heat source. Brush with butter mixture. Cook, brushing with herbed butter and turning skewers frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
