Does one lose their man card for grilling a salad?

Even if the answer is yes, I would do it again. My dad dropped me off a dozen crabs after spending the weekend crabbing down the Chesapeake. It sounds like the crabbing is really picking up as they were averaging about 75 keepers each day. When trying to decided what to make I remembered seeing a grilled romaine salad with grilled corn topped with crab meat and a guacamole based dressing in a magazine. Made a delicious light weeknight meal. And don't worry, I had enough meat leftover to make some delicious crab cakes to pair with a ribeye for dinner last night. Thanks for looking.

That looks awesome! I've always wanted to do a grilled salad but haven't yet. Man card stays intact, bro!

We really like the grilled romain salad as well. This is definitely a yuge step if from what I normally make and it looks fantastic.Greensboro, NC

Did this a few weeks ago and it was incredibly good. Like you, I will also do again.

Awesome! I would argue just the opposite, takes a real confident man to grill salad! Again, BEAUTIFUL!

Outstanding. I would happily tear into that salad.Coleman, Texas

No loss of man card. Just a few reduction points. Easily made up with beer points.
That salad looks phenomenal by the way! "The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

What the hell else are you supposed to do with it? I didn't know there was any other way. If grilling salad is wrong, I don't want to be right.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Good looking salad there! Toss on some grilled fruit and oh my.
You won't loose your man card but they did put an asteric (*) on mine.

Grilling a salad.......no.........using a legit "salad" fork to eat that salad.............then yes

After grilling, did you toss your salad?

Never. Anything grilled, meat, potatoes, salad and dessert including but not limited to smores makes you more of a man

Yup. Hand it over. I mean the salad. Looks killer!
-
A very fine meal. Anyone that wishes to take your man card, is because they do not have one.

Looks delicious. I love a grilled Caesar. A little smoke in the romaine seems to go perfectly with the dressing and some shaved parm on top.LBGE, 28" Blackstone

Nice cook, grilled Romaine is excellent. Man card is intact, but remember the reason we have alcohol is because no great story ever started with someone having a salad....Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Thanks for al the support fellas, I'll be able to sleep soundly once again

Looking back on it I should've strayed away from that aspect of the recipe, however it was still delicious. Next time I will go with something much less overpowering to let the crab be the star of the show.JohnEggGio said:I'm all for grilling the romain, but question smothering that beautiful Maryland crab meat in guac... -

That's the way we do it - keep it simple - let the crab come through.BJM2932 said:
