Grilled ‘Little Gem’

Try throwing unexpected vegetables on the grill—like lettuce! We recommend 'Little Gem' for its crisp texture, fresh flavor, and compact size.

Ingredients:

• ‘Little Gem’ lettuce heads, halved
• Olive oil (for grilling and dressing)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Shaved parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Set the grill to medium-high heat. While it’s warming up, brush the cut sides of the halved lettuce heads lightly with olive oil.
2. Grill cut side down for 2–3 minutes, just until the leaves are wilted and the edges are lightly charred.
3. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with a bit more olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
4. Top with shaved parmesan, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
