The refrigerator light goes on...
Grilling lettuce is a great twist on salad. I like to have the lettuce be super cold and grill the cut side so that the lettuce is slightly warm on the top and a bit cool on the bottom.
You can use this dressing with almost anything but it is especially good over grilled veggies. A great way to improve your Med Diet Score deliciously!
