Grilled Romaine Salad with Creamy Caesar Dressing

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 3 anchovies
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Salad:

  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Crumbled cooked bacon
  • Croutons

Directions

  1. For dressing, place anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper in blender.
  2. Blend until mixture is creamy.
  3. Add mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and oil to blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  5. Slice head of romaine lettuce in half lengthwise through root end. (Root end will help hold romaine together.) Use wooden skewers to hold lettuce leaves together, if necessary.

  7. Grill 2 to 4 minutes each side until romaine is charred and slightly wilted.
  8. Drizzle dressing over grilled romaine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and croutons.
