Romaine Salads

While crunchy romaine is best known for its role in Caesar salad, F&W has recipes for romaine salads beyond this creamy classic. Because romaine is so crisp and hardy, it stands up very well to heat—one of our favorite ways to mix up a simple salad is to throw romaine hearts on the grill. The lettuce picks up a smoky flavor and wilts just a little bit, making the perfect accompaniment for grilled swordfish or steak. Here, 7 of our favorite recipes.

Romaine Salad with Flash-Pickled Figs

Go to Recipe

These "flash-pickled" figs need only an hour of soaking in a mixture of vinegar, salt and water. As a clever time-saver, the soaking liquid for the figs also forms the base for the salad dressing.

Swordfish with Grilled Romaine Salad

Go to Recipe

"When I got back from traveling in Thailand last year, my dad wanted to try something easy that mimicked the flavors there," Jamie Bissonnette says. To oblige his father, he created a vinaigrette with Thai fish sauce to dress grilled romaine lettuce. He serves the salad alongside swordfish rubbed with (surprisingly) dried onion-soup mix. "It's an instant flavor booster."

Go to Recipe

Jimmy Bannos Jr. gives this simple salad a great, satisfying crunch with romaine lettuce, watermelon radishes and ciabatta croutons. He whisks sparkling water into the vinaigrette to help mellow the tang of the red wine vinegar.
