I often double this fantastic salad, and it’s always history by the end of the night. During inclement weather, simply prepare it under the broiler.—Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Grilled Romaine Toss Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 plum tomatoes, quartered
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
GRILLED ROMAINE:
4 romaine hearts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
DRESSING:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Add tomatoes and onions; toss to coat. Transfer to a grill wok or basket. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8-12 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Set aside.
For grilled romaine, cut romaine hearts in half lengthwise, leaving ends intact. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place romaine halves cut sides down on grill. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and wilted.
For dressing, place the oil, vinegar, garlic and brown sugar in a food processor; cover and process until smooth.
Coarsely chop romaine; divide among 10 salad plates. Top with tomato mixture; drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: If you do not have a grill wok or basket, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow liquid to drain.

This is, hands-down, the best salad I have ever eaten! OMG! -Lesleigh Baden

Wow! That best sums up my reaction to this one. I've seen several recipes for grilled romaine recently and, being a salad lover, I've been curious to try this odd grilling ingredient. This recipe jumped out as the one to try first. It was awesome and I was far from disappointed! The dressing were fantastic and it was a nice light accompaniment. (We did cut the recipe in half and it was more than enough to feed the 4 of us.)
