BBQ GRILLED ICEBERG LETTUCE WITH RANCH DRESSING

RECIPE: ALI DALY@THE_MESSY_CHEFFY
Directions

To make the dressing, add milk and vinegar to a jar. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the vinegar to curdle the milk and make the butter milk. Add the remaining ingredients into the jar. Shake to combine.   

Slice the bread in half and brush with olive oil and garlic on either side. Season with salt and pepper.  

Cut the LeaderBrand Crispy Iceberg Lettuce into quarters. Ensure to cut through the core. This will hold the lettuce together.   

Heat the BBQ until piping hot.  Place the bread onto the grill to toast. Once toasted, remove the bread from the BBQ and break into smaller pieces.   

Brush each quarter of the iceberg lettuce with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper. Place the iceberg lettuce to the hottest part of the BBQ. Cook on each cut side for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred.   

Transfer to a large serving plate. Drizzle over the dressing, chopped chives, croutons, cherry tomatoes and pine nuts.
