Main Ingredients

1 head TRF romaine lettuce

1/3 cup shaved parmesan

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Caesar dressing

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 - 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 small lemon, juiced

1/4 cup grated parmesan

1 tsp minced or pressed garlic

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1/8 tsp black pepper

Pinch of salt

Recipe Steps

  1. Light your grill according to instructions. Add all ingredients for the dressing into a container and mix well. Set aside until lettuce is ready.

  2. Slice the head of romaine in half length-wise, keeping the core attached to keep the leaves together. Rinse with water and pat dry.

  3. Drizzle olive oil on both halves of the head of romaine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  4. Place cut side down on the grill, over the coals or heat source for about 1-3 minutes depending how hot your grill is. Leaves should start to char and wilt slightly on the outside but keep their integrity on the inside.

  5. Remove the head of lettuce from the grill and sprinkle with shaved parmesan cheese. Drizzle dressing over the head of grilled lettuce and serve immediately.

Additional Notes

Grilled pork chops or steak make a great main to go alongside this salad.
