GREEN SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE



Green Salad With Dill Vinaigrette image

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.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 romaine heart
2 packed cups arugula
2 packed cups fresh parsley leaves with tender stems
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
Pinch of granulated sugar
Salt and black pepper

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:

  • Use a variety of greens to add color and texture to your salad. Some good options include romaine, arugula, spinach, kale, and watercress.
  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Some good options for a green salad include cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to add some fruit to your salad for a sweet and tangy flavor. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and oranges.
  • Make sure to wash your greens and vegetables thoroughly before using them in your salad.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for your vinaigrette dressing. This will help to give the dressing a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Season your dressing to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs. Some good herbs to use in a vinaigrette dressing include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Toss your salad gently to coat the greens and vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  • Serve your salad immediately, while the greens are still crisp and fresh.

Conclusion:

A green salad is a healthy and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, and it can also help you to stay hydrated.
