Ingredients

- ½ g arlic clove
- Extra-virgin olive oil spray
- 3 heads romaine lettuce
- 2 radishes (sliced paper-thin)
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 teaspoons capers (drained)

- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- ¼ cup microgreens (optional)

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons capers (drained)

Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Rub the bread slices with the cut side of the garlic clove and slice the bread into cubes.
-
Spritz the bread cubes with olive oil and bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.

Make the dressing: In a high-speed blender, place the cashews, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, capers, water, and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend until creamy.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high.
-
Slice the romaine heads in half lengthwise, then drizzle with a bit of olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper.
-
Grill the romaine, cut-side down, until char marks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip the romaine and grill for 2 minutes more.
-
Assemble the salads with the grilled romaine and a drizzle of the dressing.
-
Top with the radishes, chives, capers, and croutons.
-
Sprinkle with the hemp seeds, microgreens, and red pepper flakes, if using.
-
Serve with the lemon wedges and the remaining dressing on the side.
