Grilling veggies brings out so much flavor and romaine lettuce is no exception. The first time I had a grilled salad was on a camping trip and it elevated the salad to a whole new level of gourmet cooking. Not only is grilling veggies amazingly easy, it’s quick, too. The anchovy vinaigrette is similar to a Caesar salad dressing without the Parmesan cheese. Since I love cheese, I used a blue cheese crumble sprinkled over the grilled lettuce for some extra pop and pizzazz. Enjoy this deliciously quick recipe and wow your family and friends. *Watch the video for a quick demonstration on how to make Grilled Romaine Lettuce With Anchovy Vinaigrette And Blue Cheese. *You can also use a hand held blender to mix the dressing.
