Ingredients

• 3 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 6 cups Mixed greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.5 cups Feta cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, and remove the stems if needed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush the mushrooms generously with the mixture on both sides.

Step 5

Place the mushrooms on the grill, gill-side up, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

While the mushrooms are cooling, prepare the salad base by arranging mixed greens on a large serving platter or individual plates.

Step 7

Add cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and feta cheese (if using) over the greens.

Step 8

In a small jar or bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Slice the grilled portabella mushrooms into thin strips and arrange them on top of the salad.

Step 10

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, or serve the dressing on the side.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Portabella Mushroom Salad!
