Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the romaine hearts in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine hearts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the romaine hearts on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the edges are charred but the lettuce remains crisp. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
Place the grilled romaine halves on a serving platter. Drizzle the dressing generously over the top.
Sprinkle the grilled romaine with grated Parmesan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and croutons if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky, tangy Grilled Romaine Salad!
