Grilled Romaine Salad


Last night I went to Terra Sole Cheese WineBar Ristorante in Ridgefield Connecticut.  They had my grilled romaine salad on the menu. Of course, my version is better and it is soooo easy to make.   My dinner companions insisted that I repost my recipe as they lamented over misssing the Food Network on cable.

My friend Ilyse shared this recipe with me. She is right. It is absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

Cut whole romaine heart in half.
Rinse off but keep in tack.
Drizzle some olive oil or a vinaigrette dressing of choice on top with some Italian seasoning ground on top
Spay grill with grilling spray (PAM) so that lettuce does not stick to grill
Grill for 2 minutes on each side.
It will burn if you do not stay with it.
Use a peeler to peel long slices of fresh Parmesan cheese.
Put on top of the lettuce on plate
.Each person should get a whole half, therefore 1 heart is for 2 people.
I find that I can easily eat the whole heart myself.
Absolutely delicious!!!!!

This sounds amazing. Can taste the thinly sliced parmesean softening on the warm lettuce. Going to try it this week.
