Grilled Caesar Salad Tartines Recipe!

Unlike most lettuces, firm hearts of romaine stand up beautifully to the heat of the grill as they develop smoky flavor. This is a knife-and-fork sandwich.

Ingredient List

Serves 4

• Vegetable oil, for brushing grill
• 3 1/2 Tbs. nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice, divided
• 1 Tbs. low-fat mayonnaise
• 3 tsp. Dijon mustard, divided
• 1 tsp. vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• 3 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1 oz. for shaving into curls
• 1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
• 2 romaine hearts, each halved
• 4 large slices crusty Italian bread (1/2-inch thick)
• 1 clove garlic, halved

Directions

1. Brush grill grates with oil, and preheat grill to medium.

2. Whisk together yogurt, 1 Tbs. lemon juice, mayonnaise, 1 tsp. mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in bowl. Stir in 3 Tbs. Parmesan; season with pepper.

3. Whisk together olive oil, remaining 1 Tbs. lemon juice, and remaining 2 tsp. mustard in separate bowl. Brush oil mixture over romaine halves. Grill 6 minutes, turning once, or until brown around edges. Transfer to platter.
