Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Gently clean the portobello mushrooms using a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.
Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and membrane. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the portobello mushrooms and red bell peppers on the grill. Cook the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Cook the red peppers for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the skin is charred and blistered.
Once the red peppers are grilled, transfer them to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 5 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the skin. After 5 minutes, peel off the skin and slice the peppers into thin strips.
Slice the grilled portobello mushrooms into 1/2-inch thick strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Arrange the mixed salad greens on a platter or individual plates. Top with the sliced portobello mushrooms and red peppers.
Drizzle the rosemary dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
