Braaied Romaine Salad

Charred, with lemon yogurt and sesame panko.

This grilled romaine salad is smoky, charred and anything but boring. I top it with a tangy lemon yogurt dressing, crunchy sesame panko and pecorino, and it turns into a whole vibe. It is perfect as a starter, as a side, or as an "I'm not really into salad but wow" kind of moment.
