Korean-Style RomaineRoland Bello

You'll often see a Western-style salad on the menu at a restaurant in South Korea—in all likelihood, a result of the American presence there since World War II. Romaine retains a nice crunch, even after marinating in a hot dressing. Like the cucumber apple pickle , this dish adds a welcome splash of green to the table.

Cooks' notes:

Romaine can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
