PARSNIP SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss parsnip chunks with olive oil and salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Roast until nicely browned, turning as needed, about 20 minutes. Let cool. Then toss with watercress, apple and shallot.
- Whisk together dressing ingredients and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
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 RYE CRISPS AND LEMON-PECORINO VINAIGRETTE
This is the recipe that got my salad-phobic son to change his tune. A few years ago, we were at Roberta's-the beloved Brooklyn pizza mecca-on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a crunchy romaine salad doused in rich, lemony dressing. Convinced that he'd love it if he only gave it a try, I bribed Jivan into tasting it. (He'd been begging for a guitar.) Poor parenting, perhaps, but it worked! Now he gobbles it up every time I serve it, as does everyone else at the table. This recipe makes much more vinaigrette than you'll need, and that's not an accident. Once you taste it, you'll want a mason jar full of it in your fridge at all times. It keeps for at least a week.

Steps:
- Make the rye crisps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and toss them with the oil, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Roast the crumbs, tossing occasionally, until they're golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooled, the rye crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the vinaigrette:
- In a mini food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until they're well combined and the dressing has emulsified. (You can also whisk the dressing by hand.)
- Make the salad:
- Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and scatter them with the torn mint. Pour about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the vinaigrette over the leaves, gently tossing until well coated, adding more dressing if needed. Transfer the salad to a platter and, using a fine grater, grate on additional cheese. Scatter with the rye crisps and remaining mint, and finish with freshly cracked pepper.
