Steps:
- For the salad: Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 6 minutes. Stir in the thyme, Worcestershire, celery, garlic and salt to taste. Cook until the garlic and thyme are aromatic and the celery is starting to brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. The celery should still be lightly crisp. Add more salt if desired. Take off the heat and spread on a sheet tray to cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water and line a sheet tray with a paper towel or kitchen towel. Generously season the boiling water with salt. Add the green beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a spider or drain in a colander and transfer to the ice bath. Once cooled, transfer the green beans to the lined sheet tray and thoroughly pat dry.
- For the creamy Parmesan dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, Parmesan, mayonnaise, sherry vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
- To assemble: To the bowl of dressing, add the green beans, mushroom mixture and romaine. Toss to combine and everything is fully coated. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the almonds and crispy fried onions. Serve immediately.

FRENCH STRING BEAN SALAD
Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for 1 minute only. Time it carefully! You want the beans to be crisp-tender. Drain the beans and put them in the ice water until completely cool. Drain the beans again, dry on paper towels, and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour enough dressing over the beans to moisten them well, reserving the rest for another use. Toss with the dill, season to taste, and serve at room temperature. (If the beans aren't served immediately, refrigerate them and add a little extra vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt before serving.)

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: Use fresh string beans and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Look for string beans that are bright green and crisp, and mushrooms that are firm and have a mild, earthy smell.
- Blanch the string beans: Blanching the string beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the string beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, immediately transfer the string beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: Feel free to use a variety of mushrooms in this salad, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms. Different types of mushrooms will give the salad different flavors and textures.
- 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 a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro, can add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
