After our three weeks in Japan, I was more than a little surprised to find little juicy tomatoes growing in our garden so early this year, perfectly sweet and ripe. How quickly summer has come! Freshly picked arugula from Urban Eden Farms and sweet summer corn and Walla Walla onions from the local farmers market, made it into the recipe as well.  The Smokey Lime dressing is earthy and flavorful with just a hint of heat and sweetness. Brian devoured this salad and seemed pretty satisfied and content, not even noticing the lack of meat.

The grilled portobello mushrooms and sweet onions get brushed with a mix of olive oil, soy and balsamic, along with the fresh corn.

Make a bed of lettuce. Here I used arugula, but any of your favorite will do fine. Scatter the onions, then the mushrooms then the corn and tomatoes.

I like to make two rows, then pile them up high.

The grilled portobello mushrooms are so beefy, and the marinade gives them even more umami flavor.

  1. We love this and make it frequently. We have had guests blown away with its deliciousness! Made several times this hot summer to not heat up the kitchen. On the menu tonight. Using fresh herbs, arugula and tomatoes from the garden, corn from the farmer’s market. Sometimes serve with grilled baked potatoes for a “steak”, salad, baked potato meal! Fantastic!






  2. I love the recipe! Very tasty!
    Out of curiosity – did anyone try to add some grilled flank steak and alternate with portobellos?

    Also, do you wait for veggies and mushroom to cool before you place on the bed of lettuce? I bet it’s just a preference and whether or not you don’t mind somewhat wilted greens.

    Fantastic dressing!






    1. Hi Agnes! Glad you enjoyed this! I bet it should be good with steak too. I like the veggies warm over the crisp salad- but up to you!

  3. Yum! Made it for dinner tonight and it was amazing. I was planning to box up a bit to take for my work lunch tomorrow but no such luck, my family ate every last bit. Thank you for this wonderful recipe, I will definitely be making this again.






  4. Absolutely love this! Was so good we’ve made it twice in 10 days. Added shrimp on top for a little extra protein and it worked great.






  5. I made this for lunch today. I grilled the portobello, onion and corn indoors on a grill pan since it’s so very hot outside. The dressing was perfect with just the right kick. Will definitely repeat. Husband gave it a big thumbs up.






  6. GAAAH! This is SO GOOD! I’ve made it for a Fourth of July BBQ, for visiting in-laws, and for just my husband and myself. Each time it has been a hit! The plates clean by the end of the meal. I added some dry roasted pepitas for some crunch and it’s so tasty.






  7. When i first saw this post in my email I thought it was a mix of portabellos and steak. Now looking at the blog, I see that the portabellos ARE the steak and that makes me so happy!! We’ve recently starting the switch to a vegetarian diet in our house and I cant wait to try this one. Thanks for the lovely recipes!
