        Instructions:

        Step 1: Soak the Skewers

        If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to help prevent burning during grilling.

         

        Step 2: Assemble the Skewers

        Thread the broccoli florets, salmon cubes, and Artisan Red Onion wedges alternately onto the skewers. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. For extra brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice before grilling if desired.

        Step 3: Make the Teriyaki Drizzle

         

        In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Or use your favorite store bought Teriyaki glaze. For a thicker glaze, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

         

        Step 4: Grill the Skewers

        Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes total, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and lightly charred.

        Step 5: Glaze and Finish

        Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and fresh lime wedges if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the savory-sweet combination of grilled salmon, crisp broccoli, and Artisan Red Onion.

        Instructions:

        Step 1: Prepare the Grill & Ingredients

        Preheat your grill to high heat. While the grill heats, wash and dry the Artisan® Romaine Lettuce, then cut each head in half lengthwise. Slice the Artisan® Sweet Italian Red Onions into ¼-inch rings. Brush the cut sides of the romaine and both sides of the onion rings with olive oil, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

        Step 2: Cook the Bacon & Balsamic Glaze

        In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and finely chop once cooled. Discard excess bacon fat from the skillet, then add the balsamic vinegar. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to approximately ¼ cup, creating a rich balsamic glaze. Set aside.

        Step 3: Roast the Tomatoes

        Toss the grape tomatoes with a small drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes, or until slightly softened and blistered. Remove and set aside.

        Step 4: Grill the Romaine & Onions

        Place the onion rings on the hot grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until tender and lightly charred. Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, just until grill marks develop and the leaves are lightly charred while remaining crisp.

        Step 5: Build the BLT

        Arrange the grilled romaine halves on a serving platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with shaved Pecorino Romano cheese, then top with grilled onion rings, roasted tomatoes, and crispy bacon.

        Step 6: Finish & Serve

        Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled romaine and toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, savory flavors of grilled Artisan® Romaine Lettuce paired with sweet grilled onions, crispy bacon, roasted tomatoes, and tangy Pecorino Romano for a fresh twist on a classic BLT.

        35 min Total

        Instructions:

        Step 1: Prepare the Produce

        If needed, trim a small portion of the base of the cabbage to remove the excess while keeping the core intact. Cut the cabbage head into 4 equal wedges, ensuring each wedge retains a portion of the core to help hold it together during grilling. Then clean the ears of corn by removing the husks and silk from the corn.

         

        Step 2: Prepare the Cilantro Lime Crema

        In a food processor, mix together the crema, lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

         

        Step 3: Grill the Cabbage and Corn 

        Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

        Brush the cabbage wedges with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

        Place the cabbage wedges and corn on the grill. Grill the cabbage for 4–5 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and slightly tender while maintaining some crunch.

        Grill the corn for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred on all sides. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob.

         

        Step 4: Assemble the Wedges

        Transfer the grilled cabbage wedges to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the cilantro lime crema. Top with grilled corn kernels, cotija cheese, Tajín, and smoked paprika.

         

        Step 5: Garnish & Serve

        Finish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy.
