The two parts of this recipe are important here, don't just leave out/off the dressing. Its the part that has the vinegar in it, where the marinade has the oil, the dressing has the acid or vinegar. You need that oil/vinegar balance for a marinade. The Philippines-inspired cold tomato and lime dressing is compatible with grilled fish or chicken as well as mushrooms.

Recipe
Combine all marinade ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add the mushrooms, toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature. Drain and discard marinade. Place on skewers* and grill, turning a few times about 7-10 mins, depending on your heat. Remove from skewers & top with dressing. Or just serve it on the side.
*To prevent the bamboo skewers from splintering in the heat of the fire, soak them in cold water for about half an hour.
