6 servings

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 fresh (22-ounce package) romaine hearts, cut in half lengthwise with core intact

Fresh ground pepper

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Brush the mixture on the cut sides of the romaine and season with fresh ground pepper.

Grill cut-side down for 5 minutes, or until the lettuce just starts to brown. Turn and cook until wilted and brown. Serve warm.

OPTIONS: This can also be made with other hearty lettuce types such as Belgian endive, Salad Savoy, radicchio or Bibb lettuce - or maybe even a combination.
