Low Fat Broccoli Salad with Oven Roasted Mushrooms

2 lbs mushrooms, wiped clean, stems trimmed
4 large shallots, thinly sliced lengthwise
6 Tbls fresh lemon juice
2-1/2 Tbls fresh thyme, or 2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp safflower oil
2-1/2 lbs broccoli, stemmed and cut into florets
1 red or green-leaf lettuce, washed and dried

Mustard Dressings
2 Tbls grainy mustard
3 Tbls Balsamic vinegar, or 2-1/2 Tbls red wine vinegar mixed with 1 tsp honey
1 Tbls chopped parsley
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
freshly ground pepper
1 Tbls safflower oil

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the mushrooms in a large baking dish. Add the shallots, lemon juice, thyme, salt, some pepper and the Tbls of oil; toss the mixture to coat the mushrooms in a single layer, then roast them until they are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and keep dish warm.

While the mushrooms are cooking, make the dressing. Combine the mustard, vinegar, parsley, oregano and some pepper in a small bowl. Whisking vigorously, pour in the Tbls of oil in a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking until the dressing is well combined; set the dressing aside.

Pour enough water into a saucepan to fill it about 1 inch deep. Set a vegetable steamer in the pan and brong to a boil. Put the broccoli florets into the steamer, cover the pan, and steam the broccoli until it is tender but still crisp - about 4 minutes. Add the broccoli to the dish with the mushrooms. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss the salad well.

Arrange the salad on a bed of the lettuce leaves; it may be served warm or chilled

Serves 8 as a first or side dish
