Grilled romaine with crispy prosciutto

If you have never tried grilling romaine before, this is your sign to do it! This is a grilled romaine salad with fresh corn, heirloom tomatoes and crispy prosciutto. I then topped with breadcrumbs and fresh lemon juice.

One of the things that takes this recipe to the next level is using good extra virgin olive oil. I used @pompeian Smooth EVOO from Walmart to coat the romaine and it not only enhances the dish but gives it such a delicate taste. I’m telling you, using GOOD quality EVOO makes all the difference in a recipe.
