Grilled Romaine with Prosciutto, Breadcrumbs and Buttermilk-Chive Dressing

June 13, 2017 by Tonja Leave a Comment

I’m having a love affair with grilled romaine.  If you’ve never grilled lettuce, you should really start today. Romaine, specifically has some natural sugars released with heat–really high heat.  The result is a crunchy, smoky, warm, charred sweetness all in one giant mouthful.  I’ve added a cool refreshing buttermilk-chive dressing to complete the dish. Chives are growing wild in our backyard and I love using them this time of year.
