Lemon Tahini Dressing:
1/4 cup tahini

Preparation

1 Pre-heat grill. 2 Add tahini, lemon juice, and salt to food processor and blend. While blending add olive oil and process until smooth. 3 Remove large leaves off of lettuce head. Slice a thin piece off of the base of the head, careful to keep lettuce head in tact. Cut off a couple of inches off of the top of lettuce. Keep discarded leaves and tops for another salad. 4 Mix in a small bowl the tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, pepper, and salt. Brush outside of lettuce with oil mixture, spreading it evenly. 5 Place on grill on medium to high and grill for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until outside leaves are slightly charred. 6 Drizzle with Lemon Tahini Dressing and serve immediately.
