Ingredients
- 2 whole Romaine hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Caesar dressing
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Cut each romaine heart in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Step 3
Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until the leaves begin to char and develop grill marks.
Step 5
Flip the romaine halves and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to slightly char the outside leaves. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Step 6
Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Step 7
Drizzle with Caesar dressing, ensuring it coats the leaves evenly.
Step 8
Top with croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for added crunch and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with optional lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
