Hungry Grilled Romaine Salad Recipe

As if my family needs another excuse to grill, July is National Grilling Month. And, to help celebrate, Pompeian, a leading brand in oils and vinegars is sharing simple tips and recipes to help get your summer started. You can try out these recipes for a taste of the Mediterranean from the comfort of your backyard.

Fat is usually considered a dirty word but not all fats are created equal. Fats like those found in grilling essentials like Pompeian Grapeseed Oil and OlivExtra Mediterranean Blend are good for you and can actually help you achieve your nutritional goals without sacrificing flavor. Plus with high smoke points, the flavor combinations of these oils make them the ideal base for all sorts of dishes from dressings to marinades.

This weekend my family and I tried out the Pompeian Mediterranean Blend on two different dishes featuring a dressing and a marinade. Lisa Lillien, aka Hungry Girl, created three mouthwatering grilling recipes including Hungry Grilled Romaine Salad, Jalapeno Peach Shrimp Skewers, and Spicy Mustard Chicken Kebabs. Perfect for any summer occasion that features Pompeian!

We tried two of the three creations and were not disappointed. I know you’ll be equally pleased at how delicious and simple these recipes are to make.
