Charred BLT Salad

Based on the BLT, this hearty Charred BLT Salad starts with Romaine; then strips of prosciutto, crunchy bread cubes, and cherry tomatoes are scattered on top--finishing with blue cheese that begins to melt when it hits the warm lettuce.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; swirl to coat. Add prosciutto; cook 4 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove prosciutto with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Add bread to pan; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Combine prosciutto and bread. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Add tomatoes; cook 5 minutes or until skins begins to split, stirring frequently. Pour tomatoes and olive oil into a small bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 3
Coat cut sides of lettuce with cooking spray. Place lettuce, cut side down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Cook 2 minutes or until well marked. Place 1 lettuce half on each of 4 plates. Divide prosciutto mixture and tomato mixture among servings. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon onions and 1/2 ounce cheese.

Delicious!! This was a big hit. My 10 yr old even had seconds! I did not have blue cheese so I used Feta. We smashed the tomatoes on top to make a bit of a dressing. I will definitely make this again. Maybe try some avocado or kalamata olives to put a different twist on it.

Didn't do much for me; a one time dish -- and I love grilled salads.

Seriously good! Boursin shallot and chive cheese was my sub for blue cheese. This was seriously good! I'm making it again tonight but with good bacon

Very good. Excellent summer dinner. My husband doesn't care for blue cheese so i substituted feta on his.

Husband was skeptical until he took a bite. Definitely a keeper!

Used bacon instead of prosciutto (all I had), skipped the bread and added sliced avocado. So much flavor! Love.

Delicious, quick, and easy. We are not a big fan of blue cheese, so we substituted feta. Seared the romaine on an indoor grill pan vs. the outdoor grill.

I would make this for company. Excellent recipe. Whole family loved it, including 8 year old. I can't wait to try it with tomatoes from my garden rather than the store bought cherry tomatoes.
