So many of you wanted to know more about the grilled Romaine salad I was preparing for dinner last week. I love this dish for its simplicity and amazing flavor. Add in that I can make it from start to finish in less than ten minutes and that it is beautiful on the plate and it’s really no wonder that I make it so often.
I love this simple and delicious salad so much that I have created a delicious Buttermilk Dill Salad Dressing and also a Grilled Romaine Salad with Tuna, Pickled Grapes, and Quick Vinaigrette.
Grilled Romaine Salad
Ingredients
- Romaine lettuce heart
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- salad dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the grill. Slice the Romaine lengthwise in half and drizzle a little olive oil over the top before seasoning with salt and pepper. Place the Romaine cut side down on the grill. A spot around the edge or not directly over the flame is best.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes. The surface of the Romaine will char a bit as the core softens. Remove the grilled Romaine from the grill, drizzle with dressing and serve. It's really delicious and makes such a beautiful side dish. For me, the unique flavor and texture are a really nice change of pace.
- In the winter, I often make this salad under the broiler. I use the same process, just place the lettuce cut side up on a foil lined baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes. In a pinch, I have also made this salad in the toaster oven with delicious results!
Notes
I love to drizzle a bit of homemade salad dressing on my salads. I can easily mix up a batch and season it to our liking. During the summer, I use whatever sort of fresh herb we have in the garden. It's such a simple way to make any salad more delicious!
