Grilled Lettuces

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 heads Belgian endive, halved lengthwise
• 1 large head radicchio, cut into 6 to 8 wedges
• 1 head romaine lettuce, quartered
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over the endive, radicchio and romaine, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the lettuces until they are crisp-tender and browned in spots, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Coarsely chop the lettuces, then toss them in a large bowl with the remaining oil and vinegar. Season the salad, to taste, with more salt and pepper. Serve warm.
