Grilled Romaine Hearts

Yummy!  I was in Laramie in May for work and had dinner at an Italian restaurant.  They were a bit stingy with the asparagus but their grilled Caesar salad was delicious.

So, back at the Wild O Ranch, I tried to grill lettuce too.


After removing the outer leaves and washing the inner ones, spray the romaine with olive oil to prevent sticking.  Salt and pepper both sides to taste.  Grill over hot charcoals until grill marks show.

I used ranch dressing with sunflower seeds.  Lambrusco's in Laramie shaved parmesan cheese on top, then added croutons and drizzled Caesar dressing.

The combination texture of wilted/crisp lettuce combined with mild smokiness was tastey.
