Hearts of Romaine Salad image

A quick and easy salad that is a little more exotic than a regular lettuce salad but not as heavy as a Caesar or Greek Salad. Is a great by inself for a brown bag lunch (romaine lettuce tolerates heat or lack of refridgeration better than regular lettuce) or when serving with pasta dishes for dinner.

Grilled Hearts of Romaine image

This is truly and ridiculously easy. The trick is to get the grill grates very hot. And the result? A lightly caramelized surface and a slightly smoky flavor. The insides stay cool and crisp. It's quite a contrast of tastes and textures.
