Our grilled romaine salad is everything you love about a classic Caesar salad (crisp croutons, lemony zip, a piling of parmesan, and yes, the grilled romaine maintains its crunch!), but with a subtly smoky, barely charred, slightly spicy twist.

Will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Bread Crumbs/ Croutons
- Brush both sides of bread with olive oil. Place oiled bread on a baking sheet and broil both sides for 1 minute.
- Break bread into large chunks and transfer to a small food processor. Pulse until large crumbs form.
- Place soft crumbs in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast crumbs until dry and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spicy Caesar Dressing

Grilled Romaine Salad
- Turn your grill on to medium-low heat. Brush cut side of romaine heart with olive oil and place face down on hot grill. Let them stand for 2-4 minutes without moving them to ensure nice grill marks. Using tongs flip romaine over and grill for 2 minutes longer. Remove from grill onto serving platter or individual plates.
- Top each slice of romaine with a few pickled onions, a good amount of dressing and bread crumbs.
