Prepare the Tomatillos
Rinse the tomatillos under cold water to remove the sticky residue. Remove the husks and slice them in half.

Roast the Tomatillos
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved tomatillos on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and slightly charred. Allow to cool.

Prepare the Lettuce
While the tomatillos are roasting, wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Dry it using a salad spinner or pat it down with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
