2 garlic cloves (large cloves, (minced) $0.06)
1 Tbsp mellow white miso ($0.53**)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard ($0.08)
1½ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.15)

Steps

1
Gather ingredients and preheat the grill.
2
Cut romaine hearts in half, leaving the root intact but trimmed. Make sure your lettuce is completely dry. Brush with 1 tsp olive oil on the cut sides.
3
Sear lettuce on all sides to get some color, about 3 minutes total on a very hot grill.
4
Transfer lettuce to the fridge to cool while preparing dressing and sides.
5
Toast panko in a dry pan with salted butter and remaining 1 tsp olive oil. Once the panko is toasty brown, remove it from the heat. This is my fun substitute for basic croutons! The panko clings to the wedges of lettuce so every bit is a texture party.
6
Add all dressing ingredients *except for the seaweed* to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
7
Break apart the seaweed and stir it into the dressing mixture.
8
Drizzle dressing over the top of each romaine heart and top them with plenty of panko, Everything Bagel mix, and additional seaweed. Shred fresh Parmesan on top and enjoy!
