Note
For best texture, ensure greens are completely dry before dressing to prevent the vinaigrette from sliding off.
You can substitute white button mushrooms with cremini or shiitake for a deeper flavor profile.
If you prefer a milder taste, rinse the capers briefly under cold water to reduce saltiness.
Serve immediately after dressing to maintain the crispness of the greens.
