Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whole milk
6 oz blue cheese, crumbled
1 tbsp shallot, finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 romaine lettuce hearts , bases trimmed but left intact, halved lengthwise
olive oil, for brushing
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, blue cheese, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the flavors develop. The dressing will thicken as it sits and may need to be thinned with more milk and the seasoning adjusted.
Heat grill to medium low. Lightly brush olive oil all over the romaine hearts, taking care not to break the leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the lettuce cut side down on the grill and cook until the outer leaves begin to char and wilt and the lettuce is warm and just barely tender all the way through to the core, about 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the lettuce to a clean platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
Place half a heart of romaine, cut side up, on each plate, top with about 2 tablespoons of the blue cheese dressing, or more to taste, and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
