Grilled Romaine Salad with Pears, Grapes, Brussels and Blue
I love to put unexpected combinations together for salads
like this one with pears, grapes, Brussels sprouts,
pecans and blue cheese
The Brussels sprouts and the grapes are roasted in the oven
and then served on top grilled romaine
If you’ve never had grilled romaine, you’ve got to try it!
You can do this on the grill or
use a hot skillet and a drizzle of olive oil
You can’t believe how much flavor the heat gives the lettuce,
all it needs is a little salt and pepper
Put the grapes and sprouts on a foil lined baking sheet,
drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper
Toss to coat and pop in a 400 degree F oven
for about 20-25 minutes,
until sprouts are done and have some dark, crispy edges
Meanwhile chop up the pear, cheese and pecans
Put the pears and pecans in a skillet over medium heat
Cook for 3-5 minutes until pears start to caramelize
and nuts are just fragrant
Now add the cheese to the roasted sprouts and grapes and stir,
to incorporate everything and start the cheese melting
Place all this yumminess on top of the warm romaine
and prepare to enjoy~
