Notes
The romaine is best eaten right after it is grilled. You can serve the hearts whole or chop them.
Great additions to the salad include halved cherry or grape tomatoes, homemade croutons, and chopped nuts.
If you have leftover dressing, it can be saved in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
