Romaine Salad with Breadcrumbs and Simple Dressing image

Provided by Molly Yeh

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.

Categories side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 small onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
4 slices bacon
6 ounces sugar snap peas, stringed and cut on the bias (about 3 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head butter lettuce, torn into leaves
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
Wedge of Parmesan, for grating

Steps:

For the French dressing: Plop the ketchup, yogurt, vinegar, mustard, sugar, paprika, onion and salt to taste into a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For the pea and bacon salad: Put the bacon in a large cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
Add the peas to the bacon fat, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until they get a slight color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Build the salad. Onto a bed of butter lettuce leaves, scatter the peas and herbs. Crumble and add the bacon. Finish with a grating of Parmesan and a drizzle of dressing. Serve with more dressing on the side.
