Author: Eating Well
Recipe type: Lunch or Dinner
This salad of grilled vegetables and beans tossed with lemon and dill tops grilled portobello mushrooms smothered in melted fontina cheese for a healthy vegetarian main course.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt (aim for low sodium salt to lower sodium content)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
- 1 15-ounce can small white beans, rinsed (aim for low sodium beans to lower sodium content)
- 2 small bell peppers, quartered and seeded 1 small red onion, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
- 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into ¼-inch slices
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Combine lemon juice, oil, dill, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add mushroom caps and turn to coat. Remove the mushrooms from the bowl. Add white beans; stir to coat.
- Place the mushroom caps gill-side up on the grill with peppers, onion and zucchini. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until they start to char and soften: about 8 minutes for the mushrooms and 6 minutes for the rest. Turn the mushrooms gill-side up again. Fill each with ¼ cup cheese and grill until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute more.
- Chop peppers, onion and zucchini and add to the bowl with the beans; toss to combine. Top each mushroom with about 1 cup of the grilled salad.
