Grilled Caesar Salad
Ingredients
- 2 heads of romaine hearts sliced in half vertically
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sea salt/pepper
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- chives and microgreens for garnish
dressing:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon minced capers
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill plate or outdoor grill to medium heat.
- Wash your halved romaine hearts by soaking them in water and a few teaspoons of baking soda for 10 minutes. Rinse with fresh water and pat dry to remove any excess water.
- Drizzle romaine hearts with olive oil and season with salt. Place the romaine on the preheated grill cut side down and don’t move for 1 minute.
- Remove the romaine from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes.
- While that is cooling make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Add water if needed to get desired consistency. I like my caesar thick so I only add about one tablespoon of water.
- Drizzle the dressing over the romaine and top with tomatoes, chives and microgreens!
