Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Romaine hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Caesar dressing
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut each romaine heart in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until the leaves begin to char and develop grill marks.
Flip the romaine halves and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to slightly char the outside leaves. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Drizzle with Caesar dressing, ensuring it coats the leaves evenly.
Top with croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with optional lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
