Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Brush the mixture evenly onto both sides of the portobello caps and place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.
Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and juicy. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then slice them into thick strips.
While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and toasted walnuts.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Divide the salad evenly among four plates. Top each serving with the sliced roasted portobello mushrooms, crumbled blue cheese, and a sprinkle of additional walnuts if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Roasted Portobello Salad with Blue Cheese!
