Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch rings
2 red bell peppers, quartered lengthwise
8 portobello mushroom caps, gills scraped out with a spoon
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 ounces grated fontina cheese (1 cup)
4 slices rustic bread, halved diagonally
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 ounces mixed salad greens

Steps:

Make the vegetables: Combine vinegar, oil, oregano, red-pepper flakes, and garlic. Pour over onion, peppers, and mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove vegetables from marinade, and reserve marinade. Season vegetables with the salt and pepper; grill, turning and brushing occasionally with marinade, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes for onion, 10 to 12 minutes for peppers and mushrooms. Fill mushrooms with cheese; grill until cheese melts, about 30 seconds. Grill bread until toasted, about 30 seconds per side.
Make the salad: Whisk together oil, the salt and pepper, and 3 tablespoons reserved marinade; toss with greens. Serve with vegetables and bread.
