Ingredients

Homemade Dressing

1/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tbsp Anchovy Paste (optional)
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 Garlic Clove Minced
Salt & pepper to taste

Fried Capers

2 tbsp Capers
1/4 cup Olive Oil

Lettuce

1 Romaine Lettuce

Instructions

Homemade Dressing

Mix all ingredients together and set aside in refrigerator.

Fried Capers

Heat oil over medium heat.
Drop one caper in oil. When it starts bubbling, add remaining capers and fry for a minute.
Remove to paper towel with slotted spoon. Reserve oil.

Grilled Romaine

Heat grill to medium/medium high.
Cut a large Romaine heart in half, leaving bottom on the keep leaves together.
Rinse Romaine halve sand drain on paper towels cut side down until dry. Drizzle cut side of Romaine with reserved caper oil.
With tongs, place lettuce on grill cut side down. Keep a close eye on lettuce and flip over once browned with grill marks. Remove Romaine from grill when both sides are grilled.
Place grilled lettuce, cut side up, on serving platter.Drizzle with reserved dressing, Parmesan cheese and cooled capers. The capersgive a salty umami flavor so I omit the anchovy paste in my dressing.
