Easy Summer Dinner Ideas: Grilled Ranch Romaine Lettuce Recipe
I know what you’re thinking… wait you grilled lettuce? You bet I did. Grilled ranch romaine lettuce is where its at. Plus its really easy and quick when you’re trying to get dinner on the table. It creates this delicious and smoky flavor. I typically cook mine on the grill and sometimes my Ninja Foodi Grill but I’ve also been known to make grilled ranch romaine lettuce on broil when times are tight. I thought until I tried it that the lettuce would fall apart but it stays perfectly intact.
Ingredients for Grilled Romaine Lettuce Recipe: (Serves up to 6)
Romaine Hearts, washed and cut in half lengthwise
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Goat Cheese
Chopped bacon pieces
Crispy onions
Ranch Vinaigrette (I use Tessemae’s)
Instructions:
After romaine is washed and cut in half, lay them out on baking sheet or platter, inside of head facing upwards. Brush on olive oil and then ranch vinaigrette. Make sure to coat all over leaves but not pour or saturate. Use salt & pepper to your liking. Put straight on grill on medium high until edges are crisp and burnt on the edges. When grilled, remove and place on serving platter. Top with cheese, bacon and crispy onions.
It does have more of a wilted texture so make sure to serve with a durable knife. It is such a nice, unique flavor. Your family and guests will love to and it’s a healthy option for a summer side dish. Tag me if you make it on @nashvillewifestyles
