Grilled Avocado and Romaine Caesar
Tender grilled avocado, romaine lettuce, and grilled onion go together just right. It’s a fun riff on a caesar salad that brings a smokey grilled flavor to simple ingredients.
Plus, the caesar dressing can be used with other dishes like chicken caesar wraps or even grilled vegetables.
Ingredients
Ingredients List:
- 1 avocado, halved and peeled
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 4 green onions
- Oil, to grill
- BelGioioso Shaved Parmesan Cheese
Creamy Caesar Style Dressing
- ⅓ cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Woodstock Organic Mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp Annie’s Naturals Organic Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp Portlandia Foods Organic Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 large cloves garlic, grated
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- Generous pinch salt
Preparation
- Heat the grill over medium high heat.
- Add all ingredients for the Caesar dressing to a jar or small bowl. Whisk or shake with the lid on until emulsified and smooth.
- Once the grill is hot, oil the green onions and avocado halves. Grill the green onions and the avocados, cut side down, until browned and tender, about 3-5 minutes. Cut the romaine heads in half lengthwise, keeping the end core intact, and oil the cut side. Place cut side down on the grill and grill briefly until browned, about 2 minutes.
- Place each romaine head half on a serving plate. Cut each avocado half in half again so you have 4 wedges, then place on each of the 4 serving plates. Place a green onion on each plate, roughly chopping first if desired. Add some shaved parmesan to each plate.
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing on top each plate. Serve with a fork and knife and enjoy immediately!
