How to Make Portabella Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

  3. Lightly brush the tops of the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Brush a small roasting pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Place mushrooms in the prepared pan. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper.
  6. Place 2-3 slices of garlic and 2 sprigs of thyme on top of each mushroom cap.
  7. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Discard garlic and thyme.
  9. While mushrooms roast, whisk together balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
  10. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  11. In a large bowl, toss together spinach and arugula with the prepared vinaigrette.
