Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Romaine lettuce hearts
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 1 cup Croutons
• 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
• 1 Lemon, halved
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes and slice them in half. Toss them in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Place the potatoes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes are grilling, prepare the romaine lettuce hearts. Cut them in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.

Step 5

Place the lettuce halves on the grill, cut-side down. Grill for 1-2 minutes until the edges are slightly charred but the lettuce remains crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Slice the grilled lettuce halves into thirds and transfer them to a serving platter. Add the grilled potatoes on top.

Step 7

Sprinkle shaved Parmesan cheese and croutons over the salad.

Step 8

Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salad, starting with 1/2 cup and adding more if desired.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad for added brightness, and garnish with chopped parsley if using.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, creamy, and crunchy flavors of this grilled Caesar potato salad.
