Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce: Wedge salads typically use iceberg lettuce, but you can also use romaine lettuce or butterhead lettuce. Look for heads of lettuce that are firm and have no brown spots.
  • Cut the lettuce wedges evenly: This will help them cook evenly on the grill. Use a sharp knife to cut the lettuce into 8 wedges.
  • Season the lettuce wedges generously: Before grilling, brush the lettuce wedges with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Grill the lettuce wedges over high heat: This will help to caramelize the edges of the lettuce and give it a smoky flavor. Grill the lettuce wedges for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred.
  • Top the lettuce wedges with your favorite toppings: Classic toppings for wedge salads include bacon, blue cheese dressing, and cherry tomatoes. You can also add other toppings, such as hard-boiled eggs, avocado, or croutons.

Conclusion:

Greek-inspired grilled wedge salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The grilled lettuce wedges give the salad a smoky flavor, and the feta cheese, olives, and tomatoes add a Mediterranean flair. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
