Grilled romaine lettuce tastes similar to cooked escarole and is tender on the inside yet crispy on the outside. Its mild, mellow flavor is a great foil for our homemade tangy dressing. Fresh lemon juice adds an extra brightness and zest to this dish. A typical addition to a Caesar dressing is anchovies. Here, Worcestershire sauce, which has anchovies as an ingredient, supplies a subtle hint of that flavor. If you’re an anchovy lover, stir a chopped fillet into the dressing.
