Grilling lettuce sounded to me like “herding cats.” How can that be done? Turns out, it can be done fantastically.  You have to use Romaine lettuce.

1 whole romaine -washed and halved
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
pinch of hot chile flakes (optional)

1.  Preheat your grill to hot.
2.  Wash and half the romaine lettuce.
3.  Brush halves with some olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of hot chile flakes.
4.  Grill for about half to one minute or until the lettuce halves are just starting to char.
5.  Remove from the grill.

You can leave them in halves or chop them up.

This is where you can start getting creative. You can leave it as is and add your favorite dressing or sprinkle on: sun dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, cheese, artichokes, black olives, celery leaves, the possibilities are endless.
