Barbecue Portabella Salad with Creamy Sweet Mustard Dressing

Sometimes a simple week of food is exactly what I need, and that's where smoothies and salads fit in perfectly. The trick (or challenge) is how to make a salad exciting? I can have a plate of veggies any day, but when I'm having a salad as a meal I want to be dreaming about that salad all day, until I finally get to sink my teeth into it for lunch or dinner.

Today's post isn't really a "recipe", but more of a concept in making a really tasty salad with an amazing star ingredient.
