Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Carefully wash the hearts of romaine lettuce under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Using a brush or a spoon, evenly coat the cut sides of the romaine hearts with olive oil.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Romaine

    Place the romaine hearts cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until you see grill marks, then flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes. The romaine should be slightly wilted but still crisp.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Add the Toppings

    Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, adding as much as desired.

  2. 6

    Finish with Prosciutto and Gorgonzola

    Top the grilled romaine with torn pieces of prosciutto and sprinkle gorgonzola cheese over the top.
