• Ingredients:
  • 8oz package of sliced FunGuy white button mushrooms
  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 1 medium red onion
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 sprigs of mint
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Fun fact: Did you know that cantaloupes are actually a type of berry? Cucumbers too! 

Mushrooms, however, are not berries. But they are still our favorite FunGuy!

This salad brings together both “berry” and FunGuy to make a refreshing and light summery salad of cool cucumber, sweet cantaloupe, and ripe blueberries mixed with a handful of peppery arugula and fresh raw mushrooms. 

We’ve included a sweet honey and lemon vinaigrette dressing to finish this berry good FunGuy salad!

DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Brush off any debris from the FunGuy mushrooms with a damp cloth, trim the stems and slice very thinly. Cut the cantaloupe in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut off the rind. Cut the cantaloupe into ½ inch thick slices. Peel and slice the onion and wash the blueberries thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl, except for the cantaloupe. Wash and drain the arugula and add it to the bowl. 
  2. In another small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey together. Season with salt to taste and pour ¾ of the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the bowl and toss well. Remove the stems from the mint and roughly chop the leaves on a cutting board, and add it to the salad, and toss again. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. 
  3. Divide the salad among 4 dishes and top with cantaloupe slices before serving. 

Have a Fun meal!
