Romaine lettuce takes on a nice charred, smoky flavor with a quick trip to the grill in this healthy wedge salad recipe. Avocado makes the dressing extra-creamy without any cream. Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish.

Ingredients

  • ½ ripe avocado
  • 5 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 romaine hearts (3-4 ounces each)
  • 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Puree avocado, buttermilk, lime juice, oil, cumin and salt in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  3. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Cut romaine hearts in half lengthwise, leaving root ends intact. Grill the romaine, cut-side down, until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with the dressing, tomatoes and pepper.
