Mushroom & Baby Corn Salad

I am posting an overload of salad recipes. I am really enjoying creating these salads. Each one tastes better than the other. And all of them are very simple to prepare. One of the biggest challenges in WFPB salads is the creation of the dressing. In the salads that I have been experimenting with, the dressings are really simple. Yet, they take the final output to unimaginable heights. As in this mushroom & baby corn salad!
