Burned Caesar Salad

I was at a Tuscan restaurant last week in Orlando with a group of people who I was sharing a family style dinner. The host ordered each of us a Caesar salad, which I probably would not have ordered on my own. So when the waiter set it in front of me I noticed two things that were different than your usual Caesar salad. First, it was made from a wedge of iceberg lettuce - the kind you typically find swimming in bleu cheese. It had also been chargrilled? So that is the recipe that I am posting today. So simple but so set apart from the traditional taste of a Caesar salad. Just cut a wedge from a head of iceberg lettuce, throw it on a high heat skillet, let it char the outside of the lettuce (yes, black), drizzle your favorite Caesar dressing on it, add cracked pepper and parmesean cheese and serve! It looks so fancy but it is so simple and inexpensive!

The day after Christmas my husband and I set out on our first road trip to Park City, Utah. We drove through Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and across the great state of Texas! This is one of 700 pictures that we took on the trip. Happy New Year to all!
