WEll, I've been robbed, moving, and out of town once again having a memorial to celebrate my beautiful sons life....I have quite a bit of catching up to do! I know most of my recipes aren't exactly weight friendly, so here is one of my new favorites I came up with to take the blah out of salad...Hope you enjoy as much as I do!
Heart of Romaine grilled Salad
1 heart of romaine
light blue cheese dressing
fresh parmesian cheese (not grated, you are goint to want to do that yourself!)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon good olive oil
Heat a grill pan on your stove top
Take a rinsed heart of romaine, and cut it in half, with the stem attached, make sure it is dried well
in a small bowl, mix te olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
with a brush, brush the flat, cut sides of the Romaine with the olive oil and black pepper, and place cut side down in the hot grill pan
You should hear a sizzle....leave in grill pan for 3 - 5 minutes....you want the lettuce to be dark brown and crisping on the cut side...sprinkle pepper on un-cut side ( I also like a small sprinkle of Kosher salt on the un-cut side!) - do not turn lettuce
Remove roamine from grill pan and place grilled side up on plate.
Grate parmesian with microplane over hot grilled side. It will begin to melt immediately.
spoon Lite Blue Cheese dressing over Parmesian cheese. Using remaining pepper season to taste.
ENJOY!!!
