Steps:
- Clean lettuces by swishing them through a large bowl or sink filled with cool water. After you swish the greens, they will rise to the surface; the sand and sediment will fall to the bottom of the bowl or sink. Once the sand and sediment are washed away, lift greens from water and transfer to a salad spinner; spin until dry.
- Tear lettuces into bite-sized pieces. If you aren't going to use the greens immediately, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel, transfer to a plastic bag, and refrigerate.
- Next, make the vinaigrette. Combine vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar if using, in a small jar; shake to blend. Add oil, and shake again until emulsified.
- For best results, use four parts greens to one part dressing and three parts oil to one part acid (vinegar, citrus juice, or a combination of both).

GREEN SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right oil: Opt for high-quality olive oil, avocado oil, or walnut oil for a flavorful vinaigrette.
- Balance the acidity: Use a vinegar that complements the oil, such as balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or white wine vinegar.
- Add some sweetness: Honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can add a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity of the vinegar.
- Incorporate herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like basil, chives, or thyme can elevate the flavor of your vinaigrette. Spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can also add depth of flavor.
- Emulsify the dressing: Whisk the oil and vinegar together vigorously until they are well combined. This will create a smooth and creamy emulsion.
- Store properly: Keep your vinaigrette in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Experiment with different flavor combinations to create a vinaigrette that suits your taste. Whether you prefer a classic vinaigrette or something more adventurous, there are endless possibilities to explore. With a little creativity, you can make a delicious and versatile dressing that will enhance any green salad.
