I saw this on the Julia Child series where she cooked with various chefs. This is a Martha Stewart recipe that I make as my go-to side for potlucks. It is simple and elegant and always wows. —Annie stader

dymnyo this is my version of a MS recipe. But the inspiration is hers. I use the same formula for many other combinations. For those who don't like mushrooms I use celery, Granny Smith apple and Ricotta Salata. I sometimes use interesting vinegars instead of the lemon juice. But I think keeping it simple and using the best ingredients is the key.
Thank you for your interest.

This recipe sounds fabulous, but you gave all the credit to Martha. What did you do to make it your own recipe. It looks beautiful.
