Grilled Caesar Salad

Grilled Caesar Salad from Cook's Country June/July 2013 issue

There are many variations of this recipe all over the internet but they are all basically the same idea. I didn't follow this recipe closely, but used it for inspiration. I made my own favorite caesar dressing. Cut romaine hearts in half. Brushed the cut sides with caesar dressing, grilled cut-side down for about 2-3 minutes until charred. Brushed french bread slides with olive oil, and grilled until crispy. Removed them from grill and rubbed a halved garlic clove on both sides of them, then cut them into crouton size pieces. Served the romaine with additional dressing, sprinkled with parm cheese and black pepper. This was really really good and I think I will definitely make again. Took caesar salad and kicked it up a notch!
