Grilled Jalapeno Caesar Salad


  • Author: Leora Ellingson

Description

Turn up the heat on your greens! 🥗🔥 This isn’t your average Caesar—My Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad takes fresh romaine hearts and gives them a quick char for that irresistible smoky flavor. Then comes the creamy, tangy Jalapeno Caesar dressing, with just the right amount of jalapeño heat, crunchy golden croutons, and a generous snowfall of Parmesan.

It’s crisp, bold, and just the right amount of spicy—once you try it, plain Caesar will feel like a distant memory. 


Ingredients

Scale

½ cup mayo
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large lemon, juiced

1 to 1 ½  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce           
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 jalapeno, halved and cut into thirds

Romaine hearts

Parmesan cheese, shredded

Croutons


Instructions

For the Dressing:

Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth.

For the Salad:

Heat an outdoor or indorr grill.  Cut the romaine hearts in half and grill them until you get a nice char on the outside edges.  Remove and place on a serving platter.  Drizzle the dressing over the top, sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and top with croutons of your choice.

Hi! I'm Leora. I am married to a Battalion Chief (who is also the man of my dreams!), a mom to five grown kids, and a nana to seven darling grandkids! I firmly believe in the importance of putting distractions away and sitting down together for family dinner, and doing so has been a tradition in our home ever since my husband and I got married 30 years ago. In fact, my children still come home often for family dinners, even though most are moved out of the house. My goal is to provide you with delicious recipes that you can share with your loved ones around the table. So, join my family for dinner, and pass your plates!
