Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup good olive oil
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups thinly sliced celery hearts, tender leaves included, sliced on an angle (about 12 stalks)
4-ounce chunk aged Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
Whole flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
  • When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
5 teaspoons honey
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large bunch celery with leaves
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored; each quarter cut into 2 wedges, then thinly sliced crosswise into triangle shapes
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk first 3 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Trim celery leaves and chop enough to measure 1 cup. Thinly slice stalks on deep diagonal. Place celery pieces in bowl of cold water. (Vinaigrette, celery leaves, and celery pieces can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
  • Drain celery; pat dry with paper towels. Combine celery, celery leaves, apples, and walnuts in large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when sliced, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples.
  • Cut the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should still have a slight crunch to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the apples from turning brown.

Conclusion:

This apple and celery salad with creamy lemon dressing is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet apples and crunchy celery are tossed in a creamy lemon dressing that is bursting with flavor. The salad is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
