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.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN
This crisp, lemony salad of raw fennel and celery (you could add thinly sliced celery root to the salad as well) makes a refreshing start to a meal, garnished with radishes and slightly bitter Treviso or radicchio leaves. It could also be a light meal on its own. Don't slice the vegetables paper-thin; you want the salad to have some crunch. You may prepare the vegetables up to an hour in advance and keep refrigerated, but don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Put lemon juice, zest and garlic in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil. Set dressing aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the salad: Place sliced fennel and celery in a salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Discard garlic from the dressing, and whisk dressing. Pour over vegetables, and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- To serve, transfer salad to a platter, and surround with radicchio, if using. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan generously over the salad. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Garnish with radishes, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp celery: The fresher the celery, the better the salad will be. Look for celery that is bright green and has no blemishes.
- Use high-quality soppressata: Soppressata is a type of dry-cured salami that is typically made from pork. When choosing soppressata for your salad, look for one that is well-seasoned and has a good flavor.
- Make sure the lemon dressing is well-balanced: The lemon dressing is what really brings this salad together. Be sure to taste it before you add it to the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The celery will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This celery and soppressata salad with lemon is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
