Super Easy Yet Fancy Grilled Romaine Salad
When I was a kid, my father loved iceburg lettuce. Especially when it came in the form of a wedge salad. He just loved the crunch and I thought it was so fancy and special, topped with bacon bits and drizzled with blue cheese dressing. Today it would seem that iceburg has no nutritional value and a salad with bacon and blue cheese is heart-attack material. The iceberg salad may have lost a bit of it’s shine, but having given up on the concept. Last night we grilled the modern-day version of a wedge salad. A little healthier with romaine and fancier with manchego cheese. I wasn’t even planning on posting about it but it tasted so fantastic and looked so fancy, I thought we’d share. My baby daddy (vegetarian) was impressed… even the kid dug right in. Cannot wait to make this for guests. Apologies for the lack of snapshots!
