The best recipe for Grilled Romaine Salad
Cut romaine hearts in half and place on a hot grill for a summertime twist on salad!
Lightly crisped and topped with garden ripe tomatoes, olives, salty cheese and a dijon vinaigrette creates a meal in itself!
Romaine lettuce is thought of as one of the most nutrient dense varieties of lettuce around. It is high in vitamin K, chlorophyll, vitamin A, vitamin C and folic acid. Romaine lends a nice crunch to salads or can be added to soups and stews in place of other leafy greens. Grilling it is my new favorite way to eat it!
Make sure lettuce is dry, placing freshly washed lettuce on the grill will result in a soggy mess!
