Summer salad recipes
I admit when the weather is very hot in the summer, I eat salad. So summer salad recipes are important to me. Besides summer salad recipes, I also grill a lot in the summer. So can you have both a salad and a grill recipe in one? Yes you can!
Grilled caesar salad
The first time I had a Grilled Caesar salad was years ago, at Christmas in Cleveland. I hosted the annual Christmas party and one of the dishes we had was this wood-fired grilled caesar salad. My god, it was amazing!
There was something about that grilled romaine lettuce. The smokiness of grilling the romaine really gave the Caesar salad a new taste. Plus adding heat to the lettuce made it sweeter somehow.
Grilling romaine lettuce
When I first thought to recreate that caesar salad from the restaurant, I thought it would be hard to grill the romaine. Turns out grilling romaine lettuce is actually easy. You do have to marinade the romaine in an oil. I choose to do a mixture of oil and lemon.
Then just place the romaine lettuce on the top part of the grill, and let it grill for about 2-3 minutes. Lift the lid and rotate the lettuce. Then grill for another 2-3 minutes, and VIOLA! you have grilled romaine lettuce.
This grilled Caesar salad is not my only grilled salad recipe. I also have Grilled Vegetables Orzo Salad {With Lemon Dijon Dressing} and a Grilled Peach Caprese Salad as well.
Easy dinner salad
If you are watching what you eat, then this easy dinner salad is perfect for you. You could customize it by adding some grilled chicken or shrimp to this dinner salad. When had a long day, and it is hot outside, just whip up a dinner salad like this one!
