Are you looking for something different, light and satisfying for a warm summer evening meal? We think this fits the bill.

Asian Chicken Slaw

Since the garlic isn't cooked, the mushrooms, which work as an appetizer or side, have a strong garlic flavor. Grill the mushrooms stem sides down first, so that when they're turned they'll be in the right position to be filled. If you want to plan ahead, remove the gills and stems from the mushrooms and combine the filling, then cover and chill until ready to grill.
