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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the romaine lettuce hearts in half lengthwise, leaving the core intact to hold the leaves together.

Step 3

Brush the cut sides of the romaine lettuce halves with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Carefully flip the romaine halves over and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and place it on a serving platter, cut side up.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grilled romaine with Parmesan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and croutons.

Step 8

Drizzle the grilled romaine with lemon juice and balsamic glaze for a tangy finish.

Step 9

Serve the salad immediately while the romaine is still warm, and enjoy your smoky, flavor-packed Grilled Romaine Salad!
