Grilled Caesar Salad

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup, plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus shaved Parmesan for serving
• 3 heads romaine hearts, sliced lengthwise in 1/2
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat grill to medium heat.

In a blender, combine the garlic, lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Drizzle in 3/4 cup olive oil to emulsify. Add the Parmesan and pulse.

Gently toss the hearts of romaine in remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 minutes, until grill marks appear and the romaine becomes wilted.

Remove the lettuce to a cutting board and cut into 2-inch wide strips. Place in a bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Toss to coat and serve warm. Garnish with the shaved Parmesan.
