When I went to the Biltmore Estate last summer I was bowled over by a seasonal anti-inflammatory salad I had at Cedric’s Tavern off the Gluten-Free menu – Grilled Romaine Lettuce Salad (above). What? You can grill lettuce you say? Oh yeah. And it is still crisp and absolutely tasty with just a hint of that grilled edge – perfect for a spring or summer lunch.

This deliciousness was served to me as I sat people watching and munching away while overlooking a beautiful little container-garden-filled patio on the estate (see below). Cedric’s Tavern chef added estate micro-greens and fennel for some extra flavor which I love. Dependent upon the dressing, this recipe is perfectly healthy and fantastic if you are looking for an addition to your anti-inflammatory diet. Below is my own interpretation of the Grilled Romaine Lettuce Salad they prepared me.
