Think about how good Caesar salad is, for a moment. OK, now imagine it grilled: it takes it to a whole new level! This salad combines grilled romaine lettuce with grilled avocados and a creamy homemade Caesar dressing for an over the top good summer salad.

Lettuce Tips
Storage: If you’re storing individual lettuce leaves, spin them dry after washing and place in a lettuce keeper in the fridge. A container is best to avoid bruising and bacteria buildup.
What are 2 things that lettuce needs to stay fresh?
Moisture and Air.
You can also use a plastic bag if you keep a corner open for airflow, or you can store them stemless and wrapped in a wet paper towel in your crisper drawer. Make sure to add a few paper towels to absorb excess moisture and replace the paper towels every few days if they get too damp.
