Grilled Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing

These are the veggies that I add, you may add whatever you want to the base which is the romaine.

1 head of romaine lettuce
1 sm. zucchini
1 sm. yellow squash
mushrooms
1 tomato, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 green bell pepper, left whole

Yes, you literally grill all of this! Cut the romaine head in half, lengthwise down the center. Spray (or drizzle) with oil (so it doesn't stick to the grill). Set aside. I cut the zucchini and squash into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Lightly drizzle veggies in oil (doesn't take much). Grill on medium heat until the veggies are done to your liking. *Place each half of the romaine on the grill, after only a minute or so, turn and grill for another minute. You really only want to singe it.

Caesar Dressing

1 garlic clove, minced (I always add 2)
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 c. olive oil (I use grapeseed)
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

combine all and wisk together. Toss into salad. *note: this makes a lot of dressing for 1 romaine head!*
