    Grilled Romaine Salad with Creamy Lemon Caper Dressing

    Meghan Birnbaum
    This is the salad of the summer! Yeah, I know it's still spring, but I'm ready for summer and backyard BBQ's! So while you're grilling the meats, throw on some romaine and make this salad that will be enjoyed just as much as the mains. The dressing is tangy and creamy, and the homemade croutons are a real game changer! You'll be making this salad all summer long - guarunteed!
