Grilling vegetables is one of the healthiest ways to add flavor to a healthy dish \u2014 and thick slices of eggplant and Portobello mushrooms hold up well on the grill<\/a>. Seasonal flavors of basil, arugula and tomato, complemented with a slice of mozzarella cheese, bring this vegetarian sandwich together. Add a dash of balsamic vinegar to kick the taste up a notch (and skip the mozzarella cheese to go vegan).<\/p>\n
