Grilled Romaine Chicken Cesar Salad

Cesar salad is definitely one of my more favorite salads. When I make them for us at home, I never really abide by “typical” Cesar salad rules, I tend to just through whatever we like together with some Cesar dressing and call it delicious.

A few weeks ago I was watching one of my favorite bloggers, Living with Landyn’s instagram story and saw that she was grilling romaine lettuce. While I am pretty sure my food repertoire knew about grilling romaine lettuce it hadn’t come to mind in a long time. Love it when someone else sparks your creative pallet. Especially when it comes to food. Grilling romaine lettuce definitely provide extra flavor to your salad. With Cesar salads being one of our favorite and me wanting to have some grilled romaine lettuce I decided to combine the two. What better combination than a grilled romaine chicken Cesar salad, of course with a little Jessica flair.

The picture post doesn’t show the fresh parmesan flakes and dressing I put on, so I would highly recommend adding these (the picture wasn’t as beautiful with the toppings on) and so I opted for the “naked” picture version.

I hope you enjoy these salads as much as we did.
