Less Is More Summer Salad & Grilling Romaine Lettuce. Say what?

I love salads, especially in the summer. When making salads,  I usually get carried away and combine every nut, fruit, cheese and green I can find. Anyone else have this problem?

Recently, however, I have been going with the less is more mentality and really enjoying it.

My most recent salad:

  • shredded brussels sprouts (chopped with big knife or mandolin) 
  • arugula 
  • watermelon
  • feta

Dressing:

  • EVOO
  • fresh chopped rosemary and thyme
  • balsamic vinegar
  • small amount of mustard
  • pepper and little salt (since feta will already be salty)

Have you ever tried grilling romaine lettuce?!  

Neither have I. Under last night! Camera man and I made it as an appetizer.  (Camera man below on our back deck getting ready to grill!)

Directions:

  • Wash your romaine lettuce. Cut in half. Dry very very well

Season with

  • 2 tbs oil 
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tbs apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • add any kind of herb like rosemary, oregano or thyme.
  • Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Its very yummy. What is your favorite thing to grill?


And a MUST try video to work your THIGH BUTT. Do this video 3X's a week and give that THUTT a lift :)

Thigh butt, also called THUTT, is the area under your butt. The part that's so hard to get, where your thigh attaches to your butt. This workout is for you!! Do this whole workout 3x's a week and keep walking everyday. Share this workout with your friends. :)
