Ingredients
- 3 large portobello mushrooms caps
- 3/4 cup light roasted garlic balsamic salad dressing, plus 2 tablespoons divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup lowfat ricotta
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (recommended: McCormick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) bag store-bought crostini
- 1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
- Fresh oregano leaves, for garnish
Directions
Lightly wipe the caps clean with a paper towel. Cut into 1/2-inch slices, place in a large zip-top bag and add 3/4 cup of balsamic dressing. Squeeze air from bag and seal. Lightly massage the mushrooms to ensure they are all evenly coated. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the marinated mushrooms and saute for about 6 to 8 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, stir together ricotta, 2 tablespoons balsamic dressing, and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Spread crostini with the ricotta mixture. Top each crostini with a portobello slice and cross with a red pepper strip. Garnish with oregano leaf.

This is the perfect appetizer for parties. My guests loved it and everyone asked for the recipe, including men so they could ask their wives to make it for them! Simple, delicious and the aroma is heavenly!

This was so easy and delicious! I reduced the marinade and then cooked the mushrooms and it turned out amazing! Not one leftover.
