Hearts of Romaine Harvest Salad
The Secret to Serving this Salad
The secret to serving this salad is to brush the cut sides of the romaine lettuce with olive oil and place face down on a skillet to sear and char the lettuce for a crispy, roasted flavor.
How to Serve Hearts of Romaine Harvest Salad
While this dish is beautiful and can be displayed on any type of serveware, we typically like to serve it on a wooden cutting board to accentuate the harvest theme and tie in a natural element. Each slice is rather large in size, and we love styling each piece down a rectangular board and top the recipe off with fresh pomegranate seeds.

What You’ll Need
To create this simple recipe, you’ll need the following:
How to Prepare
First, set your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, toss sliced brussel sprouts with the cauliflower in 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top of the parchment paper. Top the vegetables with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes until they are browned.
While the vegetables are roasting, whisk olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, fresh garlic and sea salt to prepare a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Using a pastry brush, brush the cut side of the romaine lettuce with remaining olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, place the romaine lettuce cut side down and sear until the lettuce is charred evenly. Once charred, remove the lettuce from the pan and place on the wooden cutting board. Top with the roasted vegetables and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette dressing and enjoy!
