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.
ORANGE ROMAINE SALAD
With this salad, spinach or another dark-green leaf lettuce works as well as the romaine. The oil and vinegar can be replaced by an oil-based honey French dressing or a honey mustard or poppy seed dressing.-Nanci Keatley, Salem, Oregon

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe oranges and romaine lettuce. Look for oranges with a deep orange color and smooth skin. Romaine lettuce should be crisp and green, with no brown or wilted leaves.
- Slice the oranges thinly so they are easy to eat. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the oranges.
- Toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly browned. This will bring out their flavor.
- Make the lime dressing ahead of time so that the flavors can meld. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To assemble the salad, simply toss the romaine lettuce, oranges, walnuts, and goat cheese together. Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
