Grilled Romaine Lettuce Leaves
A couple of years ago we visited the Outer Banks, NC and sampled the grilled romaine lettuce appetizers. They were delicious, different and had a nutty flavor. It didn’t seem too difficult to copy the recipe so we tried it at home and the results were great. There are a number of variations but I wanted to stick with the one that I remembered. It is very easy to include grilled romaine to your other barbecue favorites. 


This quick recipe is:
Wash as many whole romaine leaves as you will need and baste them with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill the leaves for about 2 minutes per side or until they are wilted and a bit crunchy on the ends.. Remove leaves from grill and top them with a mixture of crumbled blue cheese and chopped pecans or walnuts. Drizzle with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and enjoy!
