We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget. The days are shorter but not any cooler — try this new twist on an easy evening salad.
Grilled salad
Estimated cost per serving: $1
Ingredients:
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Parmesan cheese
- Salad dressing (we've been into Litehouse Homestyle Ranch)
Directions:
- Slice the head of romaine in half vertically so you have two tall pieces. Wash the lettuce under cool water and shake to dry.
- Place a skillet on the stove and turn to high heat — you want the pan very hot before cooking the lettuce.
- Coat both sides of the lettuce with olive oil and salt and pepper.
- Place the romaine face-down in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn, and cook on the other side for slightly less than two minutes.
- Top with parmesan cheese and dressing. Serve with a knife and fork.
Serves two.
