I had this once in a bistro and copied it to my liking. I hope you enjoy it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The presentation of this grilled Caesar salad is non-traditional and delicious. The smokiness from the grill adds a savory, charred flavor to the romaine lettuce. Easy to make, you'll find yourself making homemade Caesar salad dressing whenever making a salad. Don't be afraid of the anchovy paste. It adds a touch of salt to the dressing (not fishy at all) and enhances the flavors of the dressing. We topped ours with a cheese-style crouton to keep this low-carb, but any seasoned crouton would be good. This salad recipe is a great way to prepare an entire meal on the grill!
