Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Romaine lettuce hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (shaved or grated)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Croutons
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the romaine lettuce hearts in half lengthwise, leaving the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine lettuce halves with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
Place the romaine halves cut side down onto the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until char marks appear and the edges of the leaves are slightly wilted.
Carefully flip the romaine halves over and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and place it on a serving platter, cut side up.
Sprinkle the grilled romaine with Parmesan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and croutons.
Drizzle the grilled romaine with lemon juice and balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.
Serve the salad immediately while the romaine is still warm, and enjoy your smoky, flavor-packed Grilled Romaine Salad!
