How To Make Your Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad:

1. Using a sharp chef’s knife and wooden cutting board, remove the root of the romaine lettuce, and then cut into thick chunk. Rinse well and let it dry.
   
   
2. Cut your bread into cubes using a bread knife.
   
   
   
   
3. Grate your parmesan using the fine grate of a cheese grater.
   
   
4. Drain the anchovies, and juice half a lemon, and set both aside.
   
   
5. Toss the lettuce pieces in a large mixing bowl with 1/4 cup of olive oil, and some salt and pepper, to taste.
   
   
6. In a smaller mixing bowl, make your dressing by mixing together the egg yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, Dijon mustard, and some salt and pepper, to taste, with a small balloon whisk. Stream in the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil while whisking constantly until it all combines. Set aside.
   
   
   
   
7. Heat up your grill and, once the grates are hot, place a BBQ grill mat on top.
   
   
8. Add the romaine pieces onto the grill mat, Turn occasionally, using a BBQ spatula, for 3-4 minutes, until you get char marks, and the lettuce pieces begin to soften.
   
   
9. At the same time, place your bread cubes onto the grill mat and cook till crusty and golden, turning occasionally with BBQ tongs.
   
   
10. Place the lettuce pieces on a plate, drizzle over your dressing, and top with grilled bread croutons and grated parmesan.
