Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

On a baking sheet, arrange the romaine lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the vegetables.

Transfer the vegetables to the grill.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. On a large platter, arrange the romaine halves and drizzle with half the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes and onions and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the tomato mixture over the lettuce and top with the avocado, sunflower seeds and basil.
