This is truly and ridiculously easy. The trick is to get the grill grates very hot. And the result? A lightly caramelized surface and a slightly smoky flavor. The insides stay cool and crisp. It's quite a contrast of tastes and textures.

Tips:
- Choose the right romaine hearts: Look for hearts that are firm and have no signs of wilting or bruising.
- Roast the peppers until they are slightly charred: This will give them a smoky flavor that complements the dressing.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in the dressing, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy the flavor of.
- Serve the salad immediately: The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

This recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy romaine hearts. The roasted peppers and Cabrales dressing add a lot of flavor and make this salad a perfect choice for a light lunch or dinner.
