Ingredients

  • 8 thick slices pancetta

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced

  • 15 crimini mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 15 kalamata olives, pitted and halved

  • 2 tablespoons capers

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, stems removed

  • 2 cups arugula

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the pancetta in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop into small pieces.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the shiitake and crimini mushrooms in the hot oil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, olives, capers, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar; cook another 8 minutes.

  3. Combine the spinach, arugula, bacon pieces, and the mushroom mixture in a large bowl; toss until the spinach and arugula leaves are coated. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the salad; season with black pepper to serve.
