Grilled Romaine

Anyone else a fan? Wow.. I drizzled romaine heads that I halved with olive oil and lemon juice and sprinkled them with Mediterranean seasoning. I threw them on the grill to get a little char and chopped up for a salad. It was amazingly easy and wonderfully delicious.

    No kidding?
    I never would've thought to do that.
    I'll have to try it the next time we fire up the grill.

    Thanks, OP. :flowerforyou:

    Yes it wilts a little and softens some but it also chars a lil and if you love that grilled taste its amazing. It seems to satisfy me more than just a salad.... add a grilled portabella mushroom and now ya got something!

    That's funny. My husband just had this for the first time at a country club and was telling me how good it was and that we need to try it!

    I've always wanted to try that. I assume you need to consume it all after you grill it? I'm the only one in my fam that would eat it :(

    Yeah, you gotta eat it right from the grill, I don't think it would keep well. You can either use the outside leaves for tuna/egg/chicken salad or just grill half.

    I do it when lettuce starts to Wilt. Saves money and is delicious.

    Thanks OP. Tried this yesterday and it was great. Drizzled some olive oil on quartered little gems, barbecued, and then dressed with little buttermilk ranch.

    I had grilled romaine with some chopped olives on top in a restaurant one day and it was freaking amazing. I need to make this soon.
