Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad

Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad is a light summer dish with layers of flavor.
A salad is always a good idea. Especially when one has just returned from a vacation where gluttony was a way of life. A Caesar salad is not usually the healthiest of options, but when one’s body hasn’t absorbed a leafy green in several days, it’s a good place to start. This grilled Romaine Caesar Salad is quite light and delicious; it is a perfect antidote a few days of bad habits and a delicious summer meal with big wholesome flavor.Grilling vegetables in the summer is a great way to bring out their natural flavors. Romaine is no exception. I did not know this fact about lettuce until Keith proudly served me this Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad. The char on the romaine added a depth of flavor to this simple salad that I instantly embraced. It eliminated the need for excessive amounts of dressing, relying instead on the natural flavors of the fresh ingredients: romaine, parmesan, lemon, and homemade croutons.The end of a vacation is always disappointing, but we’re both ready to get back on the wagon as we settle back into normal life. Grilled vegetables are a great way to start. Thanks Keith!
