Grilled Caesar Salad Recipe
I made the dressing for this salad with my Blendtec and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Putting together the salad just takes a few minutes when you make the dressing ahead of time! To grill the salad, use your gas grill outside or a grill pan inside. The salad just takes a few minutes to grill and serve immediately!
Servings: 2 -3 / Dressing makes 2 cups
Ingredients
Caesar Dressing
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 heart of romaine lettuce, rinsed and cut in half lengthwise
- salt & pepper
- olive oil, optional
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
Caesar Dressing
- Add ingredients to Blendtec jar in order listed and secure lid. Select "Dressing" and serve. The dressing tastes best when you refrigerate it overnight in a sealed container - the ingredients are allowed to marry together.
How to Grill Salad
- If using a gas grill, turn on the gas and turn the heat to high. Let the grill heat up for at least 10 minutes. If using a grill pan inside, heat grill pan on medium to medium high for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Salt and pepper the insides of your romaine lettuce halves. Sprinkle olive oil on the halves, if you wish. Add to hot grill or grill pan and cook for about 1 to 3 minutes tops. Flip to grill the other side for 1 to 2 minutes and you're done. Serve immediately with caesar dressing and parmesan cheese on top.
- *Store the dressing in the refrigerator for about a week. If serving as a side salad, one whole heart can serve up to 4 or 5 people. For an entire meal, it serves 1 to 2 people and try grilling some chicken (or use leftovers from my Easy Crockpot Whole Chicken Recipe recipe) to serve with it too!
- *If you're worried about the raw egg, be sure to use pasteurized eggs.
