I made this salad after seeing it prepared on tv. My family absolutely went nuts over it! The char on the lettuce mixed with the sweet juiciness of the oranges were perfect compliments to each other on a VERY hot summer day in Florida. It was so good i made it the next night but used chunks of parmigiano reggiano cheese and it was equally as good. Absolutely delicious and easy to make!

Such a simple and wonderful idea to transform boring romaine lettuce. I used peaches and Stilton cheese instead of oranges and Shropshire blue. I used the zest and the juice of one lemon, a splash of red wine vinegar and a drizzle of honey for the dressing. It was beautiful!

I wasn't going to make this recipe at first because the ingredient combination sounded so odd to me, but I made a grilled caesar salad a few weeks ago that was delicious, so I thought it would be nice to try another grilled salad. I am so glad that I did, because this salad was outstanding. Not only was it ridiculously easy to make (it took less than 10 minutes, including grilling time, it was very unique and refreshing. The dressing was especially good, and I plan to make it again (2 ingredients plus salt and pepper and use it on other salads. This will be an impressive dish to serve company.

I love this salad. I followed the recipe, however, I used grapefruit slices instead of oranges. I also sauteed sweet onions. Yummy!!

I made this along with the brisket and beans in the show that this recipe appeared in. It made a really great presentation and the flavor was great--nice and fresh. The grilled romaine added a bit of depth of flavor and the lemon-infused olive oil was tasty.

I made my own lemon infused olive oil today for this. I took 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil and the zest from one lemon and brought to a very low simmer for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, I covered the pan and took it off the heat and let sit for 2 hours. I then poured the oil through a fine mesh sieve and a funnel into a green glass bottle to use for later. I used maybe 1/4 cup tops in this recipe.

Like a bone head, I forgot to add the bleu cheese I purchased specially for this, that would have added another great dimension!

The presentation was great--I served on a platter along with some croutons I made from a stale baguette and had the extra dressing on the side in a serving pitcher.
