Don’t knock it ’til you try it.
We can all grill a burger. We can all grill a hot dog. But can you grill… LETTUCE?
I guess the question isn’t can you, but WILL you? You should. It’s goooood.
I’m in love with this idea for summer! It’s fun, different, and a whole heck of a lot better for you than a burger piled high (not that I’m one to judge). But it’s nice to have a change of pace once in a while.
This is like the modern day version of the wedge salad. And who doesn’t love a good wedge?
Shoe, or salad!
Be creative with your grilled salad. I like to keep it simple, as usual.
