Recipe ReDux- Grilling

Hi friends!

I’ve been anxiously waiting to hit publish on this post. Why the excitement one might ask? Well, it’s my first recipe in a monthly series called Recipe ReDux.

“The Recipe ReDux is focused on taking delicious dishes, keeping them delicious, but making them better for you. As the Latin term “redux” means to revisit or reinvent, we are reinventing the idea of healthy eating with a taste-first approach. We aim to inspire the food lover in every healthy eater and inspire the healthy eater in every food lover. “

This month’s theme is grilling. Grilling and summer go hand in hand, in my opinion. My recipe is a healthier take on the traditional burger. Don’t get me wrong, there are ways we can cut fat and calories on our traditional patty. Why not take it a step further?

I knew just what recipe I would showcase. It’s simple, healthy, and hearty. Portabella Mushroom Burgers with Grilled Corn.

You really can’t beat the flavor that comes from grilled vegetables. They need a simple dusting of olive oil, sprinkle of salt, and pepper. You throw them on the grill and let ‘em do their thing.

Since portabella’s are a hearty mushroom, you really don’t miss the meat. Besides being low in calories, portabella mushrooms are also a great source of potassium, selenium, and fiber.

I grilled up lots of goodies including squash, green and red peppers, and onion.

Last but not least the mushrooms and corn went on the grill.

Then you are ready to assemble…mushroom, peppers, squash, onions. Top if off with a sprinkle of goat cheese and a soft whole wheat bun and you’ve got one good lucking burger.

I think goat cheese pairs so well with the vegetables on this sandwich.

For something different at your summer barbeque, why not try portabella mushroom burgers instead of your traditional burger.
