Wash and dry the lettuce. Half each lettuce head lengthwise.
Pre-heat grill
Season the lettuce generously with olive oil, then add salt and pepper, plus Aleppo pepper if using.
Place lettuce on the grill and grill 2-3 minutes per side. Lettuce should be slightly charred and wilted, but maintain its green color and some crunch. Remove from grill.
Assemble the salad by serving with tomato halves, cucumbers, and buttermilk dressing. Top with blue cheese crumbles and serve immediately.
Notes
Half the romaine hearts for easier grilling of each side
Season the hearts well to ensure maximum flavor
Grill it short and sweet. You want a few grill marks, some charring, but still mostly green leaves for your end results.
The lettuce can be grilled indoors using a cast iron grill pan.
