Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon) plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 clove garlic, grated
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
1 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a bunch of grinds of pepper (about 20 grinds) and cook, stirring constantly, until the crumbs are golden brown, about 5 minutes. It's important to stir the whole time to make sure that they do not burn--which will happen if they sit too long in the skillet untouched. Once golden, immediately transfer them to a plate to cool and stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  • Whisk the yogurt, mustard, Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 3 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 20 grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth, creamy and combined.
  • And add the romaine to a serving bowl. Sprinkle in 3/4 cup of the breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan and the dressing and toss until the lettuce is nicely coated. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan on top and serve immediately.

1 cup white sugar
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons water, or as needed
3 heads romaine lettuce, chopped

Tips:

  • For a truly crispy salad, use romaine lettuce that is fresh and crisp. If the lettuce is wilted, it will not be as crispy and will not hold up well to the dressing.
  • To make the croutons, use a sturdy bread that will hold up well in the salad. A baguette or sourdough bread works well.
  • If you don't have time to make your own croutons, you can use store-bought croutons. However, be sure to choose croutons that are made with a good quality bread and that are not too oily.
  • To make the dressing, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. A balsamic vinegar or a red wine vinegar works well.
  • Be sure to season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a touch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • When assembling the salad, be sure to toss the lettuce, croutons, and dressing together gently. This will help to prevent the lettuce from becoming bruised.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling. This will help to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Conclusion:

This crunchy romaine salad with eggs and croutons is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy romaine lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, and croutons are tossed in a flavorful dressing, making this salad a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
