Roasted Portabella Mushrooms And Spinach Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (I prefer Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
4 portabella mushroom caps, brushed clean, stems removed
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
4 cups Baby Spinach, Organic
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shaved
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar and thyme. Turn the mushrooms in the marinade to coat, cover and set aside (this can be done a few hours ahead.).
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Place the mushrooms on one side of parchemnt paper-lined baking sheet. Toss tomatoes in the remaining marinade and pour onto the other end of the baking sheet. Roast in center of oven for 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing mushrooms in half. Reserve the juices from the baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, toss the spinach and parmesan with the remaining olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread spinach mixture on a serving platter and top with roasted mushrooms and tomatoes. Just before serving, drizzle reserved juices overtop,.
