Ingredients

4 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (about 450-500 degrees F). Clean and oil the grates.
2

Brush the cut sides of 4 halved lengthwise romaine hearts with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
3

Place the romaine cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes without moving until char marks form, then flip and grill the outer leaves for 1 minute. The lettuce should be wilted at the edges but still have a cool center.
4

Transfer the grilled romaine to a serving platter, cut-side up.
5

Drizzle 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing over each half, then scatter 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion on top.
6

Finish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
