I’ve never been a big grill guy. In general, cooking on the grill never really appealed to me to much because I’m not a huge meat eater. Burgers, ribs, wings, they are all good, but definitely meals I’d prefer someone to prepare. With that, we never bought a grill. We were that family. The only people living the suburban dream without a backyard grill. But a few summers ago, my dad was upgrading his grill and I gave me his old one. Great, now I have a grill! I got it just when I started to cook mostly vegetarian meals at home though. Now what? I didn’t want to pass up a free grill, but how much grilled asparagus can a guy make?
Not being familiar with vegetarian grilling I started to do some research and found some great ideas. One that I really liked was to grill salad. Grilled salad? You can do that? You sure can, and it’s fantastic!
The slightly charred leaves adds a bit of sweetness and a nice slight crisp. Lightly top it with this feta caesar dressing and you have a winning BBQ salad.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- For the salad mix: romaine, curly endive, and radicchio
Instructions
- Cut the lettuce bunches in half.
- Brush with olive oil and grill cut side down for 1-2 minutes.
- Flip lettuces and grill for another 1-2 minutes or until desired amount of char.
- For the dressing: blend all ingredients together.
- If dressing is too thick, add more olive oil, or water to thin it out.
Just wondering if this is supposed to have feta (from the title…) or just emulate feta?
this has feta in it.
