Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Toss the lettuce with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Brush the pita with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 2

Grill the lettuce (turning once) for about 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred on the outside but still firm inside; let cool, then tear into leaves. Meanwhile, grill the pita for about 1 minute on each side. Let cool, then break into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the vinegar, tarragon, shallot, mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, parsley, cheese, and pita; toss to combine.
