Number Of Ingredients 3

2 hearts romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan.
  • Cut each heart of romaine in half lengthwise, leaving the end intact so each half holds together. Cut the tops of the lettuce, if necessary. Brush with olive oil and grill over medium heat until the lettuce chars and wilts slightly, about 6 minutes, turning a few times. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

ROMAINE WITH APPLE, PECANS AND BLUE CHEESE



Romaine With Apple, Pecans and Blue Cheese image

Eating the skin of apples provides about twice the anti-cancer activity as eating only the pulp, Cornell University studies show. That's why this recipe says not to peel the apple. You may wonder about the hefty amount of fat in each serving. Don't: 90% of it is good monounsaturated fat from avocado and pecans.
