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!
