When it comes to cooking in the summer, our backyard becomes the kitchen, and just about everything is cooked on the grill. And yes, that includes the salad. If you haven't tried grilling crisp, crunchy romaine now's your chance to make up for lost time. Grilling romaine creates a wonderfully caramelized, smoky flavor that contrasts beautifully with its cool, crispy heart.

Make it even better with my (insanely easy + delicious) go-to Caesar dressing, which comes together in less than 5 minutes. You'll never go back to buying packaged dressing at the supermarket once you try your hand at this recipe.
