Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Romaine hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 0.5 cups Croutons
- 2 Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice each romaine heart lengthwise into halves, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine hearts with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the romaine halves cut-side down onto the grill grates. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, until the leaves are slightly charred with visible grill marks. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a serving platter.
Drizzle the Caesar dressing evenly over the romaine halves.
Top with shaved Parmesan cheese, croutons, and an extra crack of black pepper if desired.
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for added brightness.
