While The Grill Is On, Try This Grilled Romaine Recipe 

When we think of Labor Day Weekend, images of family barbecues, beach vacations, and some much-needed R&R come to mind. And while a lot of LDW grilling options might not be so clean, you can still make sure to get your greens in with this Grilled Romaine recipe. This salad might look simple and easy to make (perfect to whip up on this lazy, long weekend), but its nutrient-dense ingredients definitely pack a punch. The smoke from the grill gives this dish a smoky flavor while the nutritional yeast adds 9 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.

You might think grilling lettuce will completely wilt it, but no, it doesn't. It beautifully chars the outer leaves while the inner core remains crisp (and even somewhat chilled if you refrigerate the lettuce before grilling). Caesar salad dressing is traditionally made by emulsifying raw egg yolks with olive oil, garlic, and anchovy, but for grilled lettuce, a lighter egg-free vinaigrette is a better match. I don't add the anchovy, but if you want to make this a quadruple umami bomb, use a fork to mash up a bottled anchovy fillet and mix it into the garlic, shallot, and mustard in Step 2.
