My husband and parents looked at me like I was crazy when I said I was serving "GRILLED" Romaine on Father's Day, but they ate it up and begged for more. This recipe comes across very gourmet but could not be easier to make. Follow the directions exactly and it's delicious!!!
Bacon makes everything good...

Fabulous salad. The Bleu Cheese crumbles really mellow out the tangy vinegar dressing. Grilling the lettuce over a real fire instead of on a grill pan or griddle really adds great flavor!

"Modern Nostalgia!"
11/29/2006 at 01:17pm
User: Laura from Traverse City, MI User Rating:
"Nostalgic" for me because wilted lettuce or spinach salad with warm bacon dressing was such a special, elegant treat when I was growing up. Modern because, well, it's OFF THE HOOK!Grillin the romaine brings out a sweetness. I did drain off much of the grease, adn added just a tspn of sugar, and I used a good gorgonzola. We had this with the Bloody Mary Flank Steak (which we also loved) but the salads were SO great, and so filling (especially when you eat as much as we did!) that we had them as a stand-alone meal the next time. FABULOUS!

Imagine 6 hungry meat eaters watching Monday Night Football. I do the bloody mary tri-tip (the theme this year is tri-tip anyway we can make it) which was well received. But what do they rave about the grilled salad! All gone. And they were asking for more! I will be forever known as the salad griller. Thanks Guy. Oh yeah I am from the same town as Guy and have been to his restaurants many time. If you are ever in Sonoma County, you have to try them.

User: Tom from Rockton, IL User Rating:
This is what cooking outside of a resturant is all about. The flavors merry quite well. The combination of cheese with bacon almost gives it a peanuty taste. Believe it or not there are different tastes of blue cheese but suffice it to say that that the sharpness of the cheese is cut buy the vinaigrette. This is the next best thing to Ceasar Salad.

User: Gail from Antioch, CA User Rating:
I find it very interesting to watch the Food Networks wide variety of cooking styles. Guy's recipes are much closer to home for me. This salad looked great but after I made it, it was far to greasy tasting. So I adapted it by cooking up the bacon then pouring out the fat, adding more olive oil and throwing in the onions, then adding red wine vinegar to carmelize them. I didn't grill the lettuce because I like cold crispy lettuce. I put the onion and bacon mix, into a bowl, added more olive oil and vinegar with fresh oregano and sweet basil, salt and pepper to taste. Poured over the lettuce and loved it. Even added grilled chicken breast to make it a meal. Thanks
Great!

I made this and it was really easy. I do not like blue cheese, so I didn't add that, but me and my husband really liked the flavor of this one. I used it for a salad (I didn't grill my romaine either), but we will use this again for a topping on many things, like steak, chicken or other salads...

What a great combination of flavors. I made this last night to see if I'll make it for a dinner party and the answer is yes! I think I'll try a smoked bacon this time for a little off the hook flavor. I used maytag blue cheese that really made it rock. We loved it.
Amazingly good!

User: Anonymous User Rating:
This recipe has so much going for it. It is hot and cold, crunchy and soft, salty and sweet! I didn't feel like frying bacon but my husband talked me into it. It was so good with the romaine. We didn't have any blue cheese so we used parmesan. It was great but I bet the blue cheese is even better. Tonight we just grilled the romaine and topped it with bottled balsamic dressing and parmesan. I am hooked on grilled romaine! Thank you, Guy, for a great basic recipe. And I may be the only one to say this (and I voted for you!) but I find your rings and the other jewelry to be distracting! Even though it may be expensive, it looks kind of cheap. Sorry, that's how I see it. Good luck with your show, tho!

Grilled Romaine Wonderful Surprise

User: Linda from Evansville, IN User Rating:
After seeing Guy make the grilled romaine on his show a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to try it. It was so easy and so tasty, but I couldn't convince my husband to try it. I just made it again this week and he just went on and on about how good it was. I don't usually make anything with blue cheese because of the high fat and calorie content, but I didn't have to use a lot and it truly complimented the blend of flavors of it all. I will definitely be making this many more times to come.
Very good......but only enjoy in moderaton

This was delicious, but when you add this in with the steak, and the horrible tater tots, hope you have 911 handy for the heart attack soon to follow. Salad was only good recipe on this show, but it is definitely something that we will only eat occasionly due to fat contents and salt. Keep trying Guy....I know you have it in you to do better!! Gotta be nerve wrecking for 1st show. Go more for things we haven't thought of before. And PLEASE, take off all that jewelry when cooking. Cool if you're just tasting food, not handling it!

I have eaten grilled lettuce in restaurants but never tried it at home. Guy - I went out and bought a double burner top of the stove grill just for this receipe and I am so glad I did. I cook for 4 very sophisticated adult palates (2 are ex-restaurant owners) and 1 very picky teenager and they all loved the grilled romaine. Everyone balked at the half a romaine I put on each plate - way too much everyone said - HA! No one left so much as a nibble! A tantalizing flavor and the smell off the dressing cooking had everyone wandering into the kitchen to see what was for dinner. Thanks for a great new dish.

This recipe was extremely easy to make and delicious! It had just the right amount of tang from the balsamic vinegar, smoky flavor from the bacon (buy thick bacon), and the bleu cheese crumbles added a richness to it all. When I first tasted the dressing without the romaine, it seemed too tart. But once it was drizzled over the lettuce and topped with the bleu cheese - it was incredible! It was also a nice complement to the Bloody Mary Steak! This will be a regular salad option instead of "bag o' salad" for dinner.
I ate it all.

Tried this recipe a few hours after I saw it on the show. Very good and really easy on a hot summer day. I did, however make a couple of changes. I added garlic to the olive oil, used cider vinager because I thought balsamic might be over powering, and I used feta cheese instead of blue cheese for the same reason...and I didn't have any! Loved the show and the food. Thanks!!

I, too, did not like the set! Very boring and lackluster! As far as the salad goes, I'm making it for dinner tonight and can't wait to taste it. I'm serving it with a grill-roasted chicken. Guy's show was previewed on our noon news here last week, along with this recipe, and I ran to the computer to see if I could get it. Then I set my DVR so I would be sure to have it in case I couldn't watch it at that time. Look forward to more easy, delicious recipes from all my favorite Food Network chefs! Thanks to all of you!

We watched the first episode and jumped up to make this great salad. One thing we did differently was that we added chopped tomatoes and avacado.I had no crumbled blue cheese,so we crumbled queso fresco on it.This is our salad for the rest of time. Thanks-Keep up the good work.
Wonderful!

Congratulations, Guy. This is a really good recipe for grilled lettuce. Giada got me into grilling lettuces, but with the combo of blue cheese and bacon flavors this is so good. Best of luck to you, and I love the time slot you are in here in Syracuse (right after Dan & Steve, who are also great). Thank you.

Besides being super easy to make, the best thing about this recipe is how the flavors both stand out from each other as well as blend extremely well with each other. The onion compliments the bacon, they both take on the balsamic flavor, which is then brought out by the bleu cheese. When you bite into it, it is as if each ingredient hits your tounge separatly and then all at once. A+ Guy, really tasty.
FANTASTIC

this is a wonderful idea and it tasted AMAZING. i also added chopped fresh chives and crumbled gorgonzola, which freshened up the taste even more. Instead of making the salad with steak, i marinated chicken breasts in some balsamic and then topped them with some of the salad dressing. GREAT show - congrats!
about your first show...

Guy you did a great job, and your salad and flank steak were wonderful. What's with the new set? It is a bit depressing and doesn't seem to reflex who you are!
Great dressing!

I had already grilled the romaine before. I had also added feta cheese crumbled. I had not used the dressing. I can't wait to try it. It looks so yummy.

Loved the Show and this was great. However, I followed what Guy did on the show and lightly seasoned the romaine before grilling and also cooked down the dressing a bit after adding the balsamic. Also, my bacon rendered a lot of fat, so I drained off a little before adding vinegar and then used a bit more olive oil as it cooked down. This would probably also be good with grilled radiccio or other sturdy lettuce.
