Grilled Tomato and Romaine Salad
- 4 long, thick slices crusty country bread
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large garlic clove, split
- 3 hearts of romaine, halved lengthwise
- 4 red tomatoes, halved
- 4 yellow tomatoes, halved
- 2 small red onions, halved
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh oregano
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking.
Brush bread with 1 tablespoon of the oil and grill until nicely marked, about 1 minute per side.
Remove bread slices and rub garlic clove on both sides. Set bread aside.
Place romaine, tomatoes and onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and gently toss to coat vegetables.
Place vegetables on grill, turning frequently with tongs.
Cook lettuce until outer leaves are just browned and softened, 4 to 5 minutes, and tomatoes and onions until softened and slightly charred, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer vegetables back to the baking sheet as they are done.
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, salt, pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
Thinly slice romaine, place on a large platter and drizzle with half the vinaigrette.
Very coarsely chop tomatoes and onions, place in a large bowl and toss with remaining vinaigrette. Pile tomato mixture over lettuce and sprinkle with oregano.
Cut bread into large chunks and arrange around edges of platter.
