Comfy Cuisine- Home Recipes from Family & Friends: Grilled Romaine with Balsamic Vinaigrette

by •

I’ve been hearing alot lately about grilled romaine and have seen it in a few magazines and I thought I’d give it a whirl.  Grilled lettuce you say?  Grilling this green brings out a beautiful smoky flavor and it’s one of the best things I’ve tasted lately.  With a little grated Parmesean it’s a perfect recipe to add to the grilling season coming up.  Serve it with any pasta – give it a try!

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. sugar

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1/2 tsp salt.

Wash and dry two or three romaine lettuce hearts.  Slice in half lengthwise.

Drizzle with vinaigrette and freshly ground black pepper.

Grill about 3 minutes on each side until nicely charred.

Grate on some Parmigiano-Reggiano while still warm.
