Still hooked on Grilled Romaine Salad and busy working on a lot of exciting projects — Stay tuned and full. Click here and above for the how to’s and more.
I never thought I’d do this in a million years — Broil Romaine Lettuce in the oven before chopping it for a Salad. Usually wanting the freshest, most chilled Lettuce for a Salad, broiling Romaine would seem out of the question. After having my first Grilled Romaine Salad from a restaurant, I was hooked on the smokey flavor imparted into the Lettuce with a quick grilling. It’s now one of my favorite Salads.
To copycat it, I made grilled Romaine on the BBQ, but this evening it was too cold and rainy. We only have an outdoor grill. Since Romaine was on hand and I really wanted this Salad, I desperately broiled the Lettuce in the oven for (1) minute. It worked (a little) — It’s a simple runner-up if you can’t grill it on a BBQ. The above Romaine was tossed in a bag with Italian Dressing before broiling it. It wasn’t bad at all and I’ve already made it again. It’s dubbed the Romaine Runner-Up.
My neighbor walked by when I was BBQing this. I thought to myself… Please don’t ask me what I’m grilling.
“Hi neighbor, it smells good, what are you grilling?”
What would I say? “UUmmmmm, a halved head of Romaine Lettuce.” It just sounds so, like where’s the beef. I didn’t even have anything else to tack on to the answer. Thank God he didn’t ask 🙂 .
I’ve loved the Grilled Romaine Salads I’ve had in a few restaurants and wanted to capture that same flavor, so I gave it a try. And… I HIT IT first attempt.
