    Grilled Romaine Salad Recipe

     

    This great tasting recipe incorporates a salad into your grilled creations.

    Cooking your romaine lettuce on a grill really does bring out the taste of it.
    However, the grilled romaine also tastes great too!
     

    I will say that this romaine lettuce recipe is an easy one to make.
    But, it is not a recipe that everyone thinks about making. I mean, when you think of having a salad with your grilled food, it is probably a salad in a large serving bowl with maybe a few tomatoes tossed in.
     

    However, this grilled lettuce recipe is both a salad and a vegetable.

    Anyone who wants to keep a menu for a cookout simple, can appreciate this too.
    In addition, this recipe requires few ingredients and an easy preparation.

    The first time that I tried this, I was a bit surprised that it is even possible to cook salad or lettuce of any kind on a grill.
    This is because my initial thought was that the heat would wilt the lettuce and render it tasteless as a result. However, knowing how to grill the Romaine properly helps to make it taste so much better than tasteless.
     

    This recipe features a 'bacon lettuce and tomato' version of this grilled salad.

    However, you are welcome to make your version another version if you would prefer. Cesar salad is pone popular way to serve this dish up.

    The basic ingredients in this recipe stay the same no matter how you top it.

    Obviously, you will need some fresh Romaine lettuce. Make sure that you purchase the Romaine hearts as well.

     

    Preparing the Romaine lettuce for this recipe is quite simple.

    Start by rinsing the lettuce under cool water. Then tear off the outer leaves and discard them.
    We will be grilling the Romaine lettuce in halves.
    Simply use a large kitchen knife to slice the romaine lengthwise in half. The use a kitchen towel or paper towel to blot off the excess water.
     

    There are a few additional ingredients that you may need for this recipe.

    For starters you will need olive oil for grilling the lettuce. Also, for the topping, you will need ranch dressing, tomatoes, and bacon (bits work)- turkey bacon is okay.
