Quick and Easy Dressing Options: Choose One
Instructions
Homemade Dressing:
- Combine garlic, Greek yogurt and mustard in a bowl. Whisk ingredients together. Add olive oil and vinegar. Whisk and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Romaine:
- Preheat grill to medium heat. If you don’t have access to a grill, you can sear your romaine in a pan on the stove.
- Brush both sides of each romaine lettuce half with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (we highly recommend this brush). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place lettuce cut side down on preheated grill. Cook until lettuce is slightly wilted and charred, 2-3 minutes. Flip the lettuce so the cut side is up. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, paint the dressing or drizzle balsamic over the lettuce, making sure to get dressing between the leaves.
- Grate Parmesan cheese over lettuce. Cover (or close the grill) for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
