2 heads of fresh, firm romaine lettuce, cut vertically in half (you will have 4 halves)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
salt
black pepper
1 medium lemon, cut in half (optional)
4 Tbsp. fresh parmesan cheese (optional)

Make sure grates of grill are clean. Turn grill to medium high.
Brush lettuce halves with 1 Tbsp. olive oil (to keep lettuce from sticking to grill).
Sprinkle each lettuce half with salt and pepper (or any other seasonings you enjoy).
Grill for 3 minutes, cut side down. Flip and grill for 1-2 more minutes.
Remove from grill.
Optional: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each half. Top each half with a tablespoon of parmesan.
Chop lettuce and top with your choice of toppings and/or dressing.
