Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 large celery ribs
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup diced (1/4 inch) firm white sandwich bread or baguette
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Accompaniment: soft crumbly goat cheese
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer with julienne attachment

Steps:

  • Peel outer strings from 4 celery ribs with a paring knife. Cut peeled celery into 2-inch lengths, then use slicer to julienne enough celery to measure 2 cups, reserving all trimmings. Transfer julienned celery to a bowl and chill.
  • Cut enough of trimmings and remaining ribs into 1/4-inch slices to measure 2 cups. Add celery slices (not julienne) and water to a small saucepan and simmer, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add parsley, stirring until wilted.
  • Transfer blanched celery slices, parsley, and any remaining liquid to a blender and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes, then force through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding solids. Stir 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper into celery coulis and set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water.
  • Heat 1 cup oil in a 10-inch skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry bread, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 15 to 20 seconds. Immediately transfer croutons with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle with celery salt. Cool croutons to room temperature.
  • Whisk together vinegar, pepper, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining tablespoon oil in a large bowl until blended, then add celery julienne and croutons, tossing to coat.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons celery coulis onto each of 4 plates and pile salad alongside.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was just as good, if not better!
