Although it's tempting to just toss the garlic into the blender without chopping it first, give it a quick chop so you don't end up with big chunks in your dressing. (We learned the hard way!) Ingredients:
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste |
2 hearts of romaine, halved lengthwise |
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt |
1 tablespoon lime juice, or more to taste |
1/2 ripe avocado |
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic |
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese |
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions |
Directions:
1. Heat a grill to medium (350° to 450°). In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp. oil with the cayenne. Rub romaine with oil mixture. Grill, turning once, until slightly softened and streaked brown, 5 to 6 minutes total. Arrange romaine cut side up on a platter.
2. Whirl remaining 2 tsp. oil, the yogurt, lime juice, avocado, garlic, cilantro, salt, and 2 1/2 tbsp. water in a food processor until smooth. Spoon dressing over romaine and sprinkle with cheese and green onions.
3. *Find in grocery stores and Latino markets.
