Gourmet Greens

Do you cook your salad?

The next time you fire up that grill, consider throwing a head of lettuce on there. Executive Chef Ron Rupert, of Seasons 52 in Orlando, Florida, tells us how to make those greens gourmet using the grill. First, wash and pat dry the head of lettuce. Then, spritz it with some olive oil and add salt and pepper. Finally, grill the lettuce over a hot fire for a few minutes until the edges are browned.

Chef Rupert says romaine works best. It adds unique flavor to a side salad or makes a tasty bed of greens for any grilled meat and vegetables you might be serving.
