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 AND RADISH SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK LEMON DRESSING
Those of you who are getting loads of lettuce in your C.S.A. boxes may be tiring of salads, but this simple combination will never get old for me. Radishes look and taste beautiful against a romaine backdrop, and the creamy dressing is especially complementary. Radishes are rich in folic acid, vitamin C and anthocyanins, phytonutrients that are believed to have antioxidant properties.

Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest (grated yellow part of lemon) and lemon juice. To get the juice out of a lemon, heat it up in microwave for 10 seconds on high. Cut the lemon across in half. Squeeze the lemon halves while holding them upright over the dressing bowl so that the seeds stay with the lemon halves, not in the dressing! Add pepper to the dressing bowl, too. Whisk the dressing and pour in the extra-virgin olive oil while you whisk. If you pour in a slow, steady stream, 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil will pour out in a count to the number six. Once the oil is combined with the acid (the lemon juice) and the mayonnaise, you can switch utensils and stir in the cheese and a pinch of salt with a spoon or rubber spatula.
- Chop up the lettuce into 2-inch pieces. Place the lettuce in a salad bowl and top with the dressing when you are ready to serve dinner.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp romaine lettuce and radishes. Wilted or limp vegetables will not make for a refreshing salad.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the radishes. This will help them to evenly distribute their flavor throughout the salad.
- Make the buttermilk-lemon dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Don't overdress the salad. A light drizzle of dressing is all that is needed.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is a best when enjoyed fresh.
