ROMAINE SALAD WITH BREADCRUMBS AND SIMPLE DRESSING
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.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING
I wish I had a nickel for every time I was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! A good description for this is a Caesar Salad gone balistic. It travels well too; I prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when I get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the Sunset CookBook of Favorite Recipes II.

Steps:

Tips:
- For a crispier salad, chill the romaine lettuce in ice water for 30 minutes before assembling.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the romaine lettuce. This will help the dressing to better coat the leaves.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill weed.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a more flavorful salad, use crumbled bacon, chopped walnuts, or shredded Parmesan cheese as toppings.
Conclusion:
Romaine salad with creamy dill dressing is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The creamy dill dressing is made with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sour cream, and fresh dill, and it perfectly complements the crisp romaine lettuce. This salad is also very versatile, and you can add your favorite toppings, such as bacon, walnuts, or Parmesan cheese.
