Grilled Romaine with Roasted Tomatoes + Feta

Let me introduce you to my newest food obsession: grilled salad. When I discover something new, I want to eat it a lot of it and I want it all. the. time. Such has been the case with grilled romaine, as we have been enjoying it every which way. 

It's quick, simple and a nice way to remix an otherwise typical side dish. (and it's still healthy!) The romaine becomes slightly wilted with a hint of smokey flavor, while retaining the perfect amount of crispness. Roasted grape tomatoes add extra oomph, but if you are short on time, this step is certainly not necessary.
