Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One is used twice in this fabulous summer salad: first to add a burst of flavour to toasted walnuts, and second to season crisp lettuce wedges that are quickly charred on the grill. Finish with chopped chives and a creamy blue cheese dressing.

Ingredients

100 g walnuts
60 ml (4 Tbsp) olive oil
15 ml (1 Tbsp) Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One
4 romaine or gem lettuces heads
45 ml (3 Tbsp) olive oil
30 ml (2 Tbsp) Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One
125 ml (½ cup) Knorr blue cheese dressing
15 ml (1 Tbsp) chopped chives
150 g (½ cup) crispy bacon bits (optional)

Cooking Method

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Put the walnuts into a bowl with 15ml (1 Tbsp) of the olive oil and the Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One. Toss well, then tip onto a baking tray. Bake in the oven until the nuts are toasted (about 8 minutes). Set aside to cool, then roughly chop them.
Preheat your grill to high.
Cut the lettuce heads lengthways in half.
Brush the cut sides with the remaining 45ml (3 Tbsp) olive oil, then sprinkle over the Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One.
Place the lettuce halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill until nicely charred. It’s important that the grill is very hot - the lettuce wedges should not cook for too long in order to retain their crispness.
Arrange the grilled lettuce on a platter. Drizzle over the Knorr Blue Cheese Dressing, followed by the toasted walnuts, chopped chives and (optional) crispy bacon bits.
