Grilled Avocado and Arugula Salad

This is a light and filling recipe all at the same time.  It is great for lunch or even for dinner.  I made it for dinner the other night and it was perfect!

Grilled Avocado and Arugula Salad
Ingredients:
Half tub of arugula greens
4 button mushrooms
1 small red onion, cut into half moons
1/2 red pepper, cut into thin strips
1 avocado, cut into thin strips
Grapeseed oil
Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
some lemon


Combine your mushrooms, peppers and onion in a grill pan with a little grapeseed oil.  Saute for about 5 minutes, until they start to brown.  Drizzle with a little Balsamic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.  Remove from the heat and set aside.


Coat your grill pan with Pam and add the avocado in a thin layer.  Grill on each side and then drizzle with some Balsamic.  Set aside.

Place your arugula greens on a plate and make your dressing.


For the dressing use 1 tablespoon of EVOO and 2 tablespoons of Balsamic and 2 tablespoons of water.  Combine well and add the sesame seeds.


Dress your salad greens and then add the peppers, onions and mushrooms and finally the avocado.  Drizzle remaining dressing over the top and you are done!
