Instructions

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add mushrooms to bag and seal. Marinate 10 minutes; turning occasionally. Remove mushrooms from bag and reserve marinade. Sprinkle mushrooms with Cajun seasoning. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms; cook 2 minutes on each side or until very brown. Cool, cut mushrooms diagonally into thin slices. Arrange 4 cups of salad greens on each of 4 plates. Top each with mushroom slices, 2 tomato wedges, and onion rings. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup beans and 1 tablespoon of blue cheese. Drizzle the reserved marinade evenly over salads.
