11 -
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
12 -
1 small garlic clove, minced as fine as possible
13 -
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
14 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
15 -
1/2 cup plain yogurt
→ Lemon Dressing
16 -
1 clove garlic, chopped or minced
17 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
18 -
1 teaspoon sumac if you want
19 -
1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
20 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
21 -
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, or swap for another
22 -
4 tablespoons olive oil
# Steps:
01 -
Drizzle one or both dressings across everything. Top with your herbs. Squeeze the charred lemons right over the whole platter.
02 -
Pull the fava beans from their pods. Spread them over the grilled romaine. Add your avocado chunks and sprinkle the tomato halves and corn kernels on next. If you cooked shrimp, toss it on now too.
03 -
Toss the lemon halves (cut side down), corn, beans, and shrimp (if using) onto the grill, keep it at medium. Let the beans go about 10 minutes until they're soft. Shrimp turns pink quick so don't overdo it.
04 -
Lightly brush your romaine with oil, season it up, and lay it on the grill cut side down. Flip just once to get those grill lines but keep things crispy. Move to a big plate when done.
05 -
In a bowl, combine all your dressing stuff and whisk it up. Let it sit until you're ready for it.
06 -
Heat your grill over medium-high so it's good and hot before you get started.
# Notes:
01 -
Can't find fava beans? Just use edamame that are out of the pods.
02 -
Want awesome grilled shrimp? Roll them in a little oil, salt, and pepper before they hit the heat.
