Salad on the Grill! Romaine Hearts with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
Yesenia made these grilled romaine hearts for our Boo(z)k(e) Club last week and I liked them so much I hounded her for the recipe. Although as you will see, I’m posting this more as a summer BBQ inspiration than a recipe to follow to the T. You can use gorgonzola or blue cheese and you can use fat free sour cream and mayo to lighten up your dressing.
From Yesenia:
Romaine Hearts (1 half heart per person)- Cut in half and drizzled lightly with olive oil; Place romaine cut side down on low heat grill- Grill til just tender (still want some crunch) about 5 minutes, then turn over and grill 2 more minutes.
Dressing (Depending on how much you want, I just eyeball):
- Large dollop of Sour Cream
- Small dollop of Mayo
- Gorgonzola (or blue cheese) crumbles (as much as you want)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Splash of Lowfat Milk to make the dressing thinner
Grilled lettuce? I will have to try it to believe it!
Try it, you’ll believe it!
