Ingredients

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps, gills removed

  • 1 15-ounce can small white beans, rinsed

  • 2 small bell peppers, quartered and seeded

  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

  • 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices

  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 1/4 cup cheese and grill until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute more.

  4. 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.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
