Steps:
- For the croutons: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes with the oil and House Seasoning in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
- For the dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dressing is thin enough to drizzle.
- For the salad: Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves with the oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place the halves cut-side down on the pan and cook until slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer each half cut-side up on a plate. Drizzle with the dressing and top with the croutons, Parmesan and lemon zest.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD
Caesar salad (see following recipe) is not a traditional Italian recipe, and the grilled Caesar salad seems to be a recent phenomenon. Nino Germano, the presiding chef-owner at La Scala in Baltimore, told us how, purely by accident, he invented the grilled Caesar salad. During a busy evening in the kitchen, a cut head of young romaine lettuce fell on the grill. Nino, a frugal padrone, set it aside, and when the evening was over and it was time to have his dinner, he decided to dress that grilled romaine as he would a regular Caesar salad. And so the recipe was born.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Preheat a stovetop griddle that fits over two burners over medium-high heat. Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and toast in the oven, or scatter and toast on the griddle, until crisp throughout, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Combine the egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard in a mini-food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed. With the processor running, pour 4 tablespoons olive oil through the feed tube to make a smooth dressing. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the romaine hearts with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, brushing all over to coat evenly. Lay the romaine on the grill pan, cut side down. Grill just until marked and slightly wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the grilled romaine on a platter. Drizzle most of the dressing over them, sprinkle on the grated cheese and croutons, and then drizzle the remaining dressing on top. Use a vegetable peeler to shave slivers of Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano all over the top of the salad.
SALAD: GRILLED CAESAR SALAD (ADAPTED FROM COOK'S COUNTRY) RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:
- Soak minced garlic clove in the lemon juice for 10 minutes to soften the garlic potency. Process mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, anchovy (if using), lemon juice and minced garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in blender until smooth. With machine running, pour in reserved oil and process until thoroughly incorporated. Brush slices of baguette, on both sides, with olive oil. Place on hot grill, one minute each side. Spoon some of the dressing on the cut side of the romaine heads. If desired, sprinkle some of the parmesan on top. Grill on high heat, cut side down, for 1-2 minutes. Remove. You still want the lettuce to be crisp...just a little charred on the ends. Spread a little more dressing on each head, and sprinkle parmesan and black pepper. Serve with toasted baguette slices.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, grill the romaine lettuce hearts directly over medium-high heat until lightly charred.
- To make the dressing, use a blender or food processor to emulsify the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken indoors in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- To make the croutons, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until golden brown.
- For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the chicken and add grilled tofu or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Grilled Caesar salad is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed all year round. The smoky flavor of the grilled romaine lettuce and chicken pairs perfectly with the creamy Caesar dressing and crunchy croutons. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
