GRILLED HEARTS OF ROMAINE

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Caesar Salad Dressing

2 heads romaine lettuce, cleaned

2 tbsp. olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 small red onion, peeled and coarsely chopped

2 tbsp. cider vinegar

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese peels

Toasted slices of French bread

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove loose outer leaves from each head of lettuce. Cut each lettuce head in half lengthwise. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine onions and vinegar and set aside. Grill lettuce cut side down, for about a minute or until just charred. Turn lettuce and grill one more minute (watch lettuce carefully as it may char quickly, depending upon temperature of grill).

Drain onions. Arrange lettuce on plates. Drizzle with Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Caesar Salad Dressing and top with onions, Parmesan cheese and toasted French bread crushed into small croutons. Serve with additional slices of toasted bread.
