LETTUCE HANDLING AND STORAGE TIPS
Salads are the star of a great dinner!
Use your hands to toss green salad to prevent bruising.
Store lettuce in moist paper towels in the fridge.
Don't dress more lettuce than you're going to use -- dressed salad won't keep.
Clean Romaine lettuce by hand tearing pieces.
Spin in a salad spinner, or pat dry well on paper towels.
Salad dressing will not adhere to wet lettuce.

Olive Oil
1/2 Head of Romain lettuce per person, cleaned and dried

Heat up your barbecue really hot. Brush with Olive oil. Put the cut side down on the grill till light grill marks appear (a minute or less on a hot grill). Turn the other side down on the grill for 30 seconds. Remove to serving dishes. Drizzle with Blue Cheese Dressing. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately.
