BLT grilled Romaine Wedge salad with lemon vinaigrette

This hearty, grilled Romaine salad with BLT ingredients offers a restaurant-worthy experience directly in your own kitchen.

A few years ago I played with my husband as a wedding photographer. We photographed weddings about the front range of the Rocky Mountains, in and around Denver and deep in the mountains in ski areas and national parks. Wedding photography is fun and I appreciated the opportunity to see all the amazing scenes of Colorado Mountain Weddings, but it is admittedly a stressful appearance, so that it was not awarded for me as a long -term career. But there Is Part of the job I miss: the food.

The lunch break of a wedding photographer is usually phenomenal. I ate so many delicious meals in the five years in which I was a photographer, and our customers were usually very generous with the desserts (which I always accepted graciously). But there is a meal that was among all the wonderful culinary experiences that I made at weddings, and that was the grilled Romaine Caesar salad. It was just a starter, but it changed me how I looked at salads forever. I came deeply inspired by this wedding and started grilling my own hearts of the Romaine.

This BLT -grilled Romaine salad is a dream on a plate. If you have never had a grilled Romaine salad, get ready for a group of textures and grill flavors! We use the turkey bacon in this recipe, which gives you a similar salty, smoky taste as normal bacon with less fat, and the homemade vinaigrette is spicy and geared with a sweetness from the honey. Oh, guys, it’s perfect. You want to eat it every day and your brain will explode with ideas for grilling tender greens. Just don’t go overboard with this idea – not every salad green keeps grilling like Romaine.

Is this BLT -grilled Römer wedge salad with lemon vinaigrette healthy?

This salad is pretty healthy! The turkey bacon adds protein without the high fat content of the regular pork bacon. Romaine salad delivers many vitamins and minerals such as folic acid, vitamins C and K and potassium and is low in calories and fat. Cooked eggs offer a beautiful dose of protein and essential nutrients such as choline. This recipe has a good piece of fat, but most of the fat content is the healthy unsaturated guy thanks to the olive oil.

Overall, this grilled Romaine salad is a healthy choice for people with low-carbohydrates diets and also milk-free and gluten-free. If you follow a keto diet, you can still lower this salad in carbohydrates by replacing the honey with a keto sowing like erythritus or stevia.

Additions to your grilled BLT salad

If you are a big salad fan, you know that there are infinite opportunities to make a salad. This is also the case with a grilled salad. The BLT topic gives us some guidelines with this recipe, but the recipe also requires some freedom (for example, I don’t often see eggs on BLTS, but they are delicious on this salad). In the spirit of the freedoms you will find some of my favorite supplements for this practically perfect salad recipe.

• Use pork bacon: If you have no sodium or pork restrictions and lie around regular bacon, use it instead of Turkish bacon. It is not only salty, but it adds a lot to this salad (undoubtedly because of the excessive fat) worship.
• Add cheese: The right cheese on a salad is very important in my head. This salad screams for me for blue cheese. I know that blue cheese is a polarizing ingredient, so you might prefer feta, queso fresco or fresh goat cheese on your version.
• Add onions: Raw onions on a salad are practically an gospel for me. Dice red onions, chopped green onions or even some normal chopped yellow onions will make the trick here.

Operate suggestions

In order to make this salad a little more extensive, I would put this salad next to (not as a starter, but as an accompaniment!) A light meal like a bowl with coriander-lime-brown rice with lush grilled chicken breast. You can also serve it with something easier, like these fast potatoes with all the coverings you like.

If you eat light for dinner with this salad, you can do a little dessert as well to follow it. I love this healthy frozen strawberry dessert personally, but if you are a fan of chocolate, you can set up a lot of this beautiful chocolate pudding.
