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!
