Zucchini Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms With Avocado Pesto. Salads are really my favorite foods, but sometimes it is fun to get creative with the ingredients that you would typically find in a salad. These portobello mushrooms are stuffed with a simple combination of zucchini, artichokes and bruschetta and baked with herbs and spices. The flavor secret to this healthy and creative dish however, is the yummy avocado pesto which tops the zucchini mixture. These mushrooms are perfect as a main dish, side dish or appetizer and are vegan, gluten free and dairy free.
