This Low Calorie Grilled Romaine Salad is just 83 calories (including all of the toppings) and it makes a wonderful side salad or dish.You can also make this inside on the stovetop, just use a grill pan on the stovetop and follow the directions as outlined below. Special Tip: I recommend you use the blue cheese dressing provided. It is packed with metabolism boosting ingredients, and famous! I made it with Rachael Ray and I have supplied you with a video of us making the dressing below!
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.
