Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Romaine

    Cut the romaine heads in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place them cut side down on the grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes until charred and wilted. Remove from the grill and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  4. 4

    Make Parmesan Crisps

    On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool.

  5. 5

    Prepare Scallions

    Chop the scallions finely.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    On a serving platter, arrange the grilled romaine halves. Crumble the crispy bacon over the top, add the chopped scallions, and place the Parmesan crisps around the salad. Drizzle with house-made Caesar dressing and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
