Once the dressing is chilled, heat a gas grill to medium low or prepare a medium-low charcoal fire.

Put the lettuce cut side down on the grate, directly over the heat.

Grill until the outer leaves are charred and wilted and the lettuce is warm and just barely tender all the way through to the core, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill.

Transfer the lettuce to a clean platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
