Grilled Romaine and Blue Cheese Salad

31 Julby Amy0

 

Grilled Romaine is one of those contradiction of what you know of a salad; cold and crisp, where grilled romaine is warm and wilted.   Once you taste it you want it again, it really is delicious.  The key to grilling romaine is to do it over medium-low heat more towards medium than low so that you can get the grill marks and to keep an eye on it.  You don’t need to close the grill lid, you are only marking the salad with the flavor of the grill.   A quick sear of lines and the salad wilts just a bit and it enhances the flavor of the lettuce.
