GRILLED LETTUCE WITH ANCHOVY AND BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

RECIPES

TIME TO MAKE:

10 MIN

If you’ve never tried grilling lettuce, you’re missing out on a delicious smoky flavour that regular lettuce fails to muster. Fresh romaine lettuce from your Vegehome stands up well to the heat and is our favourite way to add a tasty twist to a simple salad.

The grilled lettuce picks up an unbeatable smoky flavour, softened in the center and charred at the tips. The slight bitterness is the perfect accompaniment to our creamy blue cheese dressing that’s given a welcome kick by anchovies and garlic. You can’t go wrong with this one!

Blue Cheese Dressing:

Crush the garlic with a small pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar until creamy.
