7/4/2012The flavor of the grilled lettuce was tasty and sweet. Our only disillusionment was a little mild grittiness. We had soaked and attempted to wash and rinse before cooking. Any suggestions to remove the grit from within the head before cooking lettuce in this manner? Also, upon sampling the dressing after completion according to the instructions, we did not like the mayonnaise dominated taste and found it to be a bit bland. Therefore, we ramped it up by adding a bit more lemon juice, a clove of garlic, half of a finely chopped shallot, and some chopped parsley. Use homemade mayo if you have the time! It makes a big difference.

5/31/2012OK but will not make again. Not sure grilling the lettuce did anything for it.

11/17/2011I was dubious at first, but this recipe was awesome. The lettuce was slightly charred on the outside and still crisp on the inside. The dressing was simple and tasty (I had some left over that I used as dipping sauce for zucchini fries the next day, it was wonderful). Great summer recipe.

7/14/2011I have made this 3 times now and find it to be delicious! Just make sure your heads of lettuce are firm enough to stay together, and serve immediately while still warm. The dressing is perfect with it!

5/31/2011This is a delicious recipe, our farm (Babe' Farms) grows a Little Gem lettuce which is a cross of green romaine and butter lettuce - it's an excellent variety of lettuce for grilling. Little Gem has a sweet taste, with tender leaves - beautiful yellow core. First we basted the filets with a combination of lemon juice & olive oil, then lightly salted with a BBQ seasoning blend. In Santa Maria, CA we use a special seasoning that includes: Garlic Salt, Black Pepper, Salt, Dried Parsley - Susie Q's makes a nice mix. Just grill until it's slightly golden, you don't want the lettuce melt - still needs to have a crisp texture. Top with the delicious dressing and you can add bacon bits too. I definitely recommend this for summer grilling!!!
