Balsamic vinegar is made from white Trebbiano grape juice. The dark color and intense, sweet flavor develops while it ages in wooden barrels. It's fat free and is a terrific way to jazz up the flavor of many foods.

Ingredients

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend
8 portabella mushroom caps (about 3 to 4 inches in diameter)
1 cup packed baby arugula
2 small tomatoes, each cut into 4 slices
1 small avocado, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
8 slider buns, split

Steps:

Set oven control to broil. Line rack from broiler pan with foil, pressing foil against rack. Cut slits in foil to match slits in rack; place rack on broiler pan.
In gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix balsamic vinegar, oil, thyme, basil and garlic-pepper blend. Remove and discard stems from mushroom caps. Add mushroom caps to bag. Seal bag; turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes to marinate, turning bag occasionally.
Place mushroom caps stem sides up on broiler rack in broiler pan; discard any remaining marinade. Broil with tops of mushrooms about 6 inches from heat 6 to 9 minutes, turning once, until tender.
Place arugula on slider bun bottoms. Top with mushrooms, tomato slices and avocado. Top with bun tops. Secure each with toothpick if necessary.
