Instructions
Light 1/2 chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over the coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, preheat a gas grill to high, covered, for at least 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
While grill is preheating, in a small bowl, combine olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Using a pastry brush, brush flat side of each lettuce half with oil mixture and set aside on a plate.
Combine buttermilk, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, shallot, sugar, dill and salt and pepper to taste in a mason jar or well-sealed tupperware container and shake until thoroughly emulsified. Set aside.
When grill is hot, place lettuce flat side down on the grill. Cover grill and cook lettuce until well-browned, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
When lettuce is cooked, place flat side up on a platter and top with dressing (you may have extra dressing).
Garnish salad with sliced tomatoes and radishes and serve immediately.
