GRILLED ROMAINE CHOPPED SALAD

Get all of your toppings ready. Cook your bacon to your liking (I prefer in the oven), slice your tomatoes, chop your chives, crush your croutons or parm crisps, and chop your bacon once done. Set aside. Make your dressing and set in the fridge. Get your grill nice and hot (these romaine hearts will not be on for long and you just want to get some grill marks on them). Slice your hearts in half the long way. You may need to stick some toothpicks in here to keep the hearts together but they should be okay. REMEMBER TO TAKE THE TOOTHPICKS OUT BEFORE EATING. brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put face down on a HOT grill (I repeat, a HOT grill). For 1-2 minutes, basting the back side while face down. check for grill marks, and flip and grill back side for 1-2 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool. Top with all of your toppings and drizzle with dressing! Enjoy!
