rainbow salad with oyster mushrooms

this a really fun-looking salad with lots of spicy & sweet flavors. it includes:

• rainbow chard, which is a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and calcium
• oyster mushrooms, lightly steamed. they were on sale so i had to buy them! they’re pretty mushrooms, and the texture is a tougher than its slimy brother, a simple white button mushroom.
• currants and sunflower seeds
• a splash of orange and lemon, along with some zest
• 1-2 tsp olive oil

• 2 tsp-full of a hot pepper. i used this pepper, which i’m not sure what it is quite yet. i’m pretty sure they’re scotch bonnet chiles based on their appearance & heat.

try any variation on this or any other salad we make here. the fun part is experimenting with new combinations!
