Romaine calm, because this grilled salad recipe is as easy as they come. Enjoy it as a simple side dish with grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, or another protein. Or, chop the salad after grilling and use it as the base for any salad that calls for romaine.
Primal Kitchen
Ingredients
2 organic romaine lettuce hearts
-
2 Tbsp Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
-
¼ cup Primal Kitchen Caesar Dressing
¼ cup shredded or shaved parmesan cheese
8 ounces rotisserie chicken breast, shredded or chopped
OPTIONAL
Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F).
Cut romaine hearts in half lengthwise. Brush generously with avocado oil. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Place the romaine seasoned side down on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes (you want it lightly charred with grill marks, not burnt), then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and place cut side up on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with caesar dressing and sprinkle with cheese.
If making chicken caesar salads, top the dressed salads with chicken. Enjoy!

When you order a caesar salad, you expect it to come on a bed of cool, crisp romaine lettuce. You probably never think about your romaine being... cooked? But that's exactly what we did here, grilling Organic Romaine Hearts from our friends at Earthbound Farm and topping them with our Caesar Dressing to add good fats from avocado oil. We love getting our organic greens from Earthbound Farm because they’re passionate about connecting people with high-quality ingredients—just like us!
Grilling the romaine first lends a subtle smokiness and a distinct charred flavor that really brings out the subtle sweetness of this popular veggie and contrasts beautifully with the cool, classic flavor of our no-dairy caesar dressing.
