Time 3h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 Roma (plum) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 shallots, halved lengthwise and peeled
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ¾ cups olive oil
4 romaine hearts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Mix olive oil, white sugar, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Place tomatoes in the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Arrange coated tomato halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake tomatoes 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Remove from heat, and let cool.
  • In a blender or food processor, finely chop the shallots. Add vinegar and brown sugar, and process until smooth. Slowly add 1 3/4 cups oil, processing frequently, so as to thicken the mixture.
  • Preheat grill for high heat. Brush romaine hearts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place romaine hearts on the preheated grill. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until slightly charred but not heated all the way through. Serve warm on salad plates surrounded by tomato pieces and drizzled with the shallot dressing.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more complete meal.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled romaine. I had some leftover from a steak dinner and it worked perfectly in this salad. The dressing is also really good. I used a little less mayo than the recipe called for and it was still plent

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The grilled romaine is smoky and slightly bitter, the dressing is creamy and tangy, and the Parmesan cheese adds a nice salty flavor. It's a really well-balanced salad.
