Charred Romaine Salad
By Kristan Raines
Directions
- Set a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium high heat. Rub each cut side of the lemon with a bit of olive oil and place in the skillet. Cook the lemon for about 3 minutes, or until charred. Carefully transfer to a plate to cool. Once cooled, juice the lemon.
- For the dressing, add 2 tbsp of the charred lemon juice to a medium bowl along with the mustard, agave, oregano, and garlic. Add a few cracks of fresh pepper, a pinch or two of salt and mix to combine.
- While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil, until the dressing is fully emulsified. Taste, adding more agave, salt, or pepper as needed. Set aside.
- Set the same pan over medium high heat again, and meanwhile brush the romaine wedges all over with some olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt.
- Place the romaine half, cut side down into the pan, pressing slightly. Grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes, then flip and grill the other side then transfer to a plate. Repeat this process for the remaining portions of romaine.
- Place the romaine halves on a large serving platter and top with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and green onions. Drizzle the dressing over the top and serve immediately.
