Salad Base

Grilled Vegetables

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Method

Preparing the Grilled Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare the Portabella Mushrooms

    Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the portabella mushrooms on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the asparagus alongside the mushrooms for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender but still crisp.

  4. 4

    Heat the Roasted Peppers

    If using jarred roasted red peppers, drain and slice them into strips. If using fresh, roast them until charred, then peel and slice.

Making the Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

  2. 6

    Season the Vinaigrette

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar as needed.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 7

    Toss the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add mixed salad greens. Drizzle some of the balsamic vinaigrette over the greens and toss gently to combine.

  2. 8

    Add Grilled Vegetables

    Slice the grilled portabella mushrooms and asparagus. Add them to the bowl along with the roasted red peppers.

  3. 9

    Finish with Cheese and Croutons

    Crumble Gorgonzola cheese over the top and add croutons. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette if desired.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately while the vegetables are warm.
