**Dilly Romaine Salad: A Refreshing and Flavorful Side Dish**
Dilly romaine salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion, from casual weeknight dinners to elegant holiday feasts. The simple combination of crisp romaine lettuce, fresh dill, and a tangy dressing creates a salad that is both refreshing and flavorful. In this article, we'll share two variations of dilly romaine salad: a classic version and a creamy version. Both salads are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So, gather your ingredients and let's get started!
MAROULOSALATA (GREEK ROMAINE SALAD)
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.

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.

This is an extremely simple, yet wonderfully delicious salad that I make when I see freshly made Feta in the grocery store. It was introduced to me as a child, and ever since then...well I am an addict :) I have also made every friend of mine that has tried this one as well. If you like lots of lemon, you like dill, and you love feta, you will love this salad!

- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Add other ingredients to your liking: This salad is a great base for adding other ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts. Get creative and make it your own!
