Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Black Garlic Caesar Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine black garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Grilling

  1. 2

    Grill the Lettuce and Baguette

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cut the Little Gem lettuce in half lengthwise and brush with olive oil. Grill cut-side down for about 2-3 minutes until charred. Grill the baguette slices for 1-2 minutes per side until toasted.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    On a serving platter, place the grilled Little Gem halves. Drizzle with the black garlic Caesar vinaigrette, top with thinly sliced red onion, white anchovy fillets, and shaved Grana Padano cheese. Serve with a side of salsa verde and the toasted baguette.
