Champignon Mushroom and Zucchini Salad

The champignon mushroom and zucchini salad.

One evening, when I wanted to make a vegetable soup, an idea came to me: while I was dicing the vegetables, I tasted both the mushrooms and the raw zucchini. I liked the taste even without dressing, and I thought why not make a salad out of it? Said and done. It’s excellent both as a side for meat and as a side for fish.
