Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a small jar with a lid. Shake until fully combined and refrigerate.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high heat.
- Cut each romaine heart in half lengthwise. Lightly spray with olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the lemon in half and place it cut side down on the grill. Add the romaine to the grill, cut side down and cook 2 to 3 minutes or just until lightly charred.
- Remove the lettuce and lemons from the grill.
- Arrange the lettuce cut side up on a serving plate. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with croutons and squeeze the grilled lemon over top. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
- Be sure the grill is pre-heated to high heat. You don't want to cook the lettuce, you just want to give it a bit of char on the edges. The lettuce should be cold and crisp.
- If possible, cut the romaine hearts in half 24 hours in advance and rinse with cold water. Shake them dry and place them in the fridge on a paper towel-lined plate, cut side down. This will make the crispiest lettuce.
- Ensure the lettuce is dried well after washing or it will steam and won't be crisp.
- Grilled romaine salad is best consumed fresh.
