I turned white vinegar green by putting a 1969 penny in it for two weeks in the refrigerator. It turned green because of the copper in the penny reacting with the vinegar in a process called oxidization. The green was the copper oxide formed when the copper in the penny oxidized in the vinegar.

Why lemon ginger garlic and apple cider vinegar turn green?

Lemon, ginger, garlic, and apple cider vinegar can turn green due to a reaction between the compounds in these ingredients and the presence of certain metals, such as copper or iron, often found in cookware or utensils. This reaction can produce pigments that create a green hue. Additionally, when garlic is chopped or crushed, it can release sulfur compounds that may also contribute to color changes when combined with acidic ingredients. While this green coloration can be surprising, it is generally harmless.

For a salad, just slice the mushrooms and dice the garlic, add oil and vinegar. Salt pepper and herbs would be great. You can also sautee (lightly cook in butter) the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Then add a touch of oil and a splash of vinegar. Again salt and pepper would help.
