Drizzled with this easy yogurt dressing and topped with homemade garlic croutons, this dish is a refreshing departure from your usual salad routine, ideal for health-conscious gourmets and vegetarian salad enthusiasts alike.
How to serve:
Serving this dish is all about embracing the freshness and warmth. The grilled romaine leaves, with their slightly wilted yet crisp texture, make a perfect base for the zesty lemon flavor of the lemon yogurt dressing. The addition of crunchy, golden garlic croutons adds a delightful contrast, making every bite a perfect harmony of flavors.

How to store:
If you have leftovers, keep the grilled romaine, dressing, and croutons separate. The lettuce can be refrigerated for up to two days, while the lemon yogurt dressing and garlic croutons can be stored for longer. This separation ensures that the croutons remain crunchy, and the lettuce stays fresh, allowing you to enjoy this zesty and healthy grilled romaine salad whenever you desire.
