Ingredients
Scale
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Croutons for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- For the Parmesan crisps, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese on the sheet, flattening them slightly. Bake for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Let them cool.

- Drizzle the grilled romaine with the dressing and top with Parmesan crisps. Add croutons if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
- Make sure to watch the Parmesan crisps closely in the oven to prevent burning.
