Nothing beats a grilled Caesar salad with prosciutto cooked on the barbecue for reinventing a classic with a summery twist! Two hearts of romaine lettuce, with their delicate smoky flavor, and perfectly crisp prosciutto slices form the base of this reimagined dish. A lightly toasted baguette adds the perfect crunchy texture. Add cucumber slices for freshness, the famous creamy Caesar dressing to bring everything together, and you have a barbecue recipe that's as simple as it is sophisticated, perfect for casual dinners or for impressing your guests.
