    🥘Grilled Baby Romaine Lettuce with Parmesan Vinaigrette Ingredients

    These are the ingredients necessary to make Grilled Baby Romaine Lettuce with Parmesan Vinaigrette.

    All of the ingredients needed to make Grilled Baby Romaine Lettuce with Parmesan Vinaigrette on a white marble background.
    • Baby Romaine - Most grocers carry these but you can use a regular head of romaine if you cannot find them.
    • Grated Parmesan - Opt for freshly grated whenever possible, the flavor is so much better!
    • Keto Croutons - This is an optional ingredient. You could also use these parmesan crisps.

    A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    Helpful Hint: 💡: To add an extra layer of flavor to your grilled romaine lettuce, try sprinkling some grated Parmesan cheese over the lettuce halves before grilling. This creates a deliciously cheesy crust that pairs perfectly with the Parmesan vinaigrette.

    🍽Equipment

    This is the equipment you will need to make Grilled Baby Romaine Lettuce with Parmesan Vinaigrette.

    • small mixing bowl
    • measuring cups and spoons
    • whisk
    • BBQ brush
    • grill
    • grill pan
    • BBQ tongs

    Storage

    For this recipe, it's best enjoyed fresh off the grill. The grilled romaine lettuce tends to wilt and lose its texture when stored, so it's recommended to consume it immediately after grilling for the best taste and texture.

    💭Top tip

    While your grilled meat is resting, take advantage of the short prep time for this recipe. Since it only takes minutes to make, whipping up this grilled romaine salad is the perfect way to complement your main dish and ensure a well-rounded meal.

    FAQ about Grilled Baby Romaine Lettuce with Parmesan Vinaigrette

    Can I make this recipe ahead of time for a party or gathering?

    While you can prepare the vinaigrette in advance, it's best to grill the romaine lettuce just before serving to maintain its texture and flavor.

    Can I use regular romaine lettuce instead of baby romaine?

    Absolutely! Regular romaine lettuce can be used if baby romaine is not available. Just be sure to adjust the grilling time accordingly as larger lettuce heads may require a bit more time on the grill.

    Can I grill the romaine lettuce indoors if I don't have access to an outdoor grill?

    Yes, you can use a grill pan or indoor electric grill to achieve similar results. Just be sure to preheat the grill pan or electric grill before cooking the lettuce.

    • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing

    Get Recipe Ingredients

    Instructions
     

    • Whisk the Parmesan, mustard, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil. Sprinkle the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
    • Brush the lettuce lightly with extra virgin olive oil and grill the romaine, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 1-2 minutes or until slightly charred and wilted, turning once.
    • Remove from the grill and place on a platter.
    • Drizzle with the Parmesan vinaigrette and top with croutons if using.

    Notes

    Keto Croutons 
    Yield approx. 6 cups
    Ingredients
    12 slices of keto bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
    For Italian seasoned croutons
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 tbsp Italian seasoning blend
    1/2 tsp pink salt
    1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
    In a large bowl, evenly drizzle the olive oil over the bread chunks.
    Evenly sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the bread.
    Toss gently until well-combined.
    Spread the bread cubes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
    Bake until golden, turning once halfway through cooking in order to brown all sides of the croutons. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cubes, so watch to be sure that they do not burn. (Mine generally take between 15-20 minutes.)
    Remove from oven, and let cool completely.
    Use immediately, or store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
