Yield:

Ingredients

  • 8 portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean with a damp towel

  • ½ cup Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for liberal drizzling

  • 1 tablespoon Grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning

  • 4 (3/4 inch thick) slices of crusty bread (stale bread is better)

  • 1 large garlic clove, smashed and peeled

  • 4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

  • 2 Cubanelle peppers, seeded and diced

  • 3 jarred roasted red bell peppers, chopped

  • 1 small red onion, chopped

  • 1 pound ball fresh smoked mozzarella, diced

  • 1 cup arugula, shredded

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, shredded

  • ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar (eyeball it)

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • ½ pinch Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Drizzle the mushrooms with EVOO and season with grill seasoning. Grill the mushrooms until fork-tender and well marked but not entirely soft, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

  2. Meanwhile, drizzle the bread with EVOO and grill until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Rub the garlic all over the bread and cut into dice.

  3. Place the bread in a large bowl and add the tomatoes, Cubanelle peppers, roasted peppers, onion, cheese, arugula, basil and parsley. Dress the salad with the red wine vinegar, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle of EVOO. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Pile the salad evenly on top of the mushroom caps.
