How to Make Grilled Romaine Lettuce

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the grill to high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the leafy outer leaves of each head of romaine. With a knife, slice down the center lengthwise of each head of lettuce, straight down through the core.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle both sides of the lettuce halves with 1 Tbsp of the olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Grill the romaine halves, flat side down, for about 3 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and warm.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallot, honey, salt and black pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Remove lettuce from heat. Arrange the lettuce halves on a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle the lettuce with the bacon and blue cheese. Serve immediately.
