Blackened Portabello Mushroom Salad

This is a take-off of a steak salad.  It is wonderful to have in the summer 
for supper.  We've even taken it to concerts in the park to have while we 
enjoy the music.  The marinade is also great on a regular salad, you don't 
miss the fat at all.  The original recipe called for a sprinkle of blue 
cheese on each plate, but you could probably substitute a nonfat mozzarella 
or other nonfat cheese.
