GREEN SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE



Green Salad With Dill Vinaigrette image

Making a giant green salad for yourself and your loved ones can be one of the best ways to create a formal break between work and dinner. This simple recipe features two different lettuces (romaine for sweet crunch and arugula for bitter spice) and a fat shower of herbs (parsley for freshness and dill for piquancy). Chilling your chopped and washed leaves in the refrigerator before dressing them is one of the best ways to get a restaurant-style green salad full of big, juicy crunch. For a savory, unknowable quality, add a splash of fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce - choose your own adventure.

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 romaine heart
2 packed cups arugula
2 packed cups fresh parsley leaves with tender stems
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
Pinch of granulated sugar
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the garlic and rice vinegar, and set aside to mellow out.
  • Meanwhile, trim the root end off the romaine heart and chop lettuce crosswise into bite-size pieces. Add the romaine, arugula and parsley to a large bowl or salad spinner. Fill with cold water, swish the greens, then lift the spinner basket (or lift the greens out and transfer to a colander in the sink) and drain the water. Repeat 2 to 3 more times, or until the water runs clear and no grit remains. Spin-dry the greens or dry them very well by laying them out on a large kitchen towel, folding the towel in half and gently patting down to remove moisture. Rinse and dry the large bowl, and return the greens to the bowl, cover with the damp kitchen towel and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes. (Greens washed, dried and covered this way can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
  • When you're ready to serve, finish the vinaigrette: To the garlic and vinegar, add the olive oil, dill, fish sauce, sugar and 1 tablespoon cold water, and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons of the vinaigrette to the salad greens, and toss, adding more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt and pepper as desired.

MAROULOSALATA (GREEK ROMAINE SALAD)



Maroulosalata (Greek Romaine Salad) image

In Greece, maroulosalata is one of the most common salads. The simple ingredient list shouldn't fool you--it's such a light, crunchy, refreshing salad that is full of flavor. I particularly love it alongside roast or grilled meats. The key to authenticity is to almost shred the romaine lettuce (marouli), rather than tear it into large pieces as we normally do in the States.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head Romaine salad
6 medium scallions, finely sliced
½ cup chopped fresh dill
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Transfer lettuce to a large bowl. Add scallions, dill, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss until well combined. Adjust oil, vinegar, and seasoning to taste.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp romaine lettuce. If the lettuce is wilted, it will not hold up well in the salad.
  • To make the dressing, use a good quality mayonnaise. Avoid using Miracle Whip or other salad dressings, as they will not have the same flavor.
  • If you don't have any fresh dill, you can use dried dill weed. However, fresh dill is always best.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and chill it for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, toss the lettuce with the dressing and serve immediately.
  • This salad is also delicious with other vegetables, such as cucumber, red onion, or bell pepper.

Conclusion:

Dilly romaine salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, dilly romaine salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
