Healthy Grilled Romaine Salad Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep: To meal prep a salad, add all the ingredients to individual meal prep containers, or family sized containers. Add the dressing to a separate container and do not add it until you are ready to serve.
Storage: Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days, does not hold well in the freezer.
Serving: If you added the dressing and the salad gets soggy, add it to a sandwich wrap or large tortilla. It’s a great way to salvage leftover soggy salad.

Ingredients
- 2 hearts of romaine lettuce
- Olive Oil Spray
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ⅓ cup Low Calorie Blue Cheese Dip
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 slices bacon or turkey bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 roma tomato diced
- 1 tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, cut the romaine hearts in half lengthwise and trim the stem end just a little, so that the lettuce still holds together.
- Spray the romaine lightly all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the romaine slices cut side down on the preheated grill and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- Meanwhile, add the blue cheese dip and water to a bowl. Mix together to make the dressing thin enough to drizzle, adding more water 1/2 tablespoon at a time until you have reached your desired consistency.
- Remove from the grill, drizzle over the blue cheese dressing. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, tomatoes and parmesan over the tops and serve hot.
