Griddled lettuce with green goddess dressing

If you haven’t tried grilling lettuce before, this is your sign to give it a try!

METHOD

For the dressing, simply put all the ingredients in a blender until smooth then season to taste.

Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the cut sides of the lettuce then lay cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes until nicely charred on the under side then transfer to a large serving platter and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over about 1/3 of the dressing, top with the cucumber followed by another drizzle of dressing. Scatter over the seeds and finish with a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
