Ingredients
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 portobello caps
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 tablespoons low-fat or fat-free feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Wash and pat dry the bell pepper, spinach, and portobello caps. Cut pepper into four even pieces.
  3. Spray portobello caps and pepper slices with olive oil spray (about 3 sprays per item using a spray bottle, or less than a second spray using a can) to give a light “dusting” of oil.
  4. Place on grill, placing the mushrooms with the open side down to start. Grill for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the peppers and mushrooms halfway through. When you flip the mushrooms, top with spinach.
  5. Once grilled, place one pepper piece on top of each mushroom. Sprinkle with feta cheese and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Tip: If you don’t have a grill or prefer to stay inside in the colder months, this recipe works just as well broiling the veggies! Broil on high, and the cooking times will be the same.
  7. Research shows that increasing the intake of lower-calorie foods, specifically mushrooms, in place of those higher in calories, like ground beef, can be an effective method for reducing calories and fat while still feeling full and satisfied after a meal.
