About Grilled lettuce

Grilled lettuce is a modern take on leafy greens, adding a smoky depth to its naturally crisp texture. Typically made from sturdy varieties like Romaine, the lettuce is lightly brushed with olive oil or seasoning and placed on a hot grill until slightly charred and wilted. Originating as a creative twist in American cuisine, it often pairs with Mediterranean-inspired dressings or protein-rich toppings. Nutritionally, grilled lettuce retains many of its raw benefits, such as vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, while the grilling process enhances flavor without adding significant calories. Olive oil used in preparation adds healthy monounsaturated fats, though excessive use may increase caloric content. The dish is low-carb, gluten-free, and suitable for many dietary lifestyles, offering a unique way to incorporate greens into meals.
