We were served grilled romaine at a restaurant one time and still talk about it. It must have made an impression. This recipe from the Food Network gets close to how we remember it. Perhaps it's time to give ceasar salad a break and try it at home! There are many variations to the dressing and definitely ways to make it more healthy, including less cream and making more of a blue cheese vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, outer leaves trimmed
- Olive oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 ounces blue cheese (about 1/4 cup crumbled)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Directions
Drizzle the romaine with olive oil. Place on a hot grill until lightly charred on the outside, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
Remove the romaine from the grill to a serving platter. Cut in halves lengthwise to make 4 long pieces, then drizzle dressing over top. Serve immediately.
