BBQ Grilled Pecan Salad
BBQ Grilled Pecan Salad is a unique, smoky, and crunchy dish that's the perfect complement to any grilled meal. The grilled romaine lettuce caramelizes slightly, giving it a special flavor, while the toasted pecans and feta cheese provide a richer texture. Grilled salads are becoming increasingly popular in American cuisine, as the smoky flavor harmonizes perfectly with the natural sweetness of the vegetables. For an even more special flavor experience, try replacing the feta cheese with goat cheese or adding a little honey-mustard dressing!
