WILD ARUGULA, CELERY AND APPLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING



Wild Arugula, Celery and Apple Salad With Anchovy Dressing image

The dressing in this salad is inspired by a much more robust dressing in Jennifer McLagan's wonderful new cookbook, "Bitter." I have reduced the anchovies significantly, not because I don't adore anchovies, but to reduce the sodium levels, which would be too high if an entire can were used. The salad presents a delicious play of bitter, pungent, sweet and salty flavors.

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 anchovy fillets
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, green germ removed, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper
4 cups arugula, preferably feathery wild arugula, stemmed
2 cups thinly sliced celery, from the inner stalks of the bunch
2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves
1 tart apple, such as a Pink Lady or Granny Smith, thinly sliced and tossed with 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make dressing. Rinse anchovies briefly and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat in a small skillet and add anchovies and garlic. Stir until garlic is fragrant and just beginning to color and anchovies have broken down into smaller bits. Transfer to a mortar and pestle. Use the pestle to grind mixture into a paste. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the still-hot pan and stir to deglaze bottom of pan, then transfer to mortar and pestle. Add mustard. Work together, then slowly add olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, working each tablespoon into anchovy mixture before adding the next. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
  • In a salad bowl, toss together arugula, celery and celery leaves, and apple slices. Add dressing, toss until coated, and serve.

SALAD WITH ANCHOVY-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Salad With Anchovy-Mustard Vinaigrette image

Anchovies add a salty depth of flavor to this bright, garlicky salad dressing. Here it's tossed with radicchio and arugula, but it will work on any full-flavored salad greens. Try it on frisée, spinach or raw baby kale. If you want to make this in a blender, double the quantities so the dressing emulsifies properly. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 quarts cleaned arugula

  • In a large bowl, toss enough dressing with arugula and radicchio to lightly coat leaves. Serve immediately.
