Putting heads of Romaine lettuce on the grill wilts the outer leaves, gives this salad and smokey flavor, but keeps most of the leaves nice and crisp. A bright buttermilk dressing, some snap peas, and a few radishes make this salad delightfully refreshing.
Note: The lettuce is only on the grill for a bit, so this salad is great to make when you have the grill heated up already.
