🥗 Variations
This recipe is the quick and easy version of grilled romaine. While it tastes great as is, you can certainly dress it up if you want. Make the recipe as listed below, but dress it up with the following:
- Top with crumbled bacon and parmesan cheese, or blue cheese.
- Make a grilled romaine caesar salad. You can either leave it as whole and top it with croutons, parmesan, and caesar dressing, or you can rough cut it into pieces. I would even go so far as to add bacon and tomato chunks.
