RED-LEAF AND CELERY SALAD WITH CARAWAY-SEED DRESSING



Red-Leaf and Celery Salad with Caraway-Seed Dressing image

A basic vinaigrette would overpower delicate red-leaf lettuce; instead, we opted for a subtle dressing that gets its creaminess from puréed onions.

Provided by Melissa Roberts

Time 35m

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound red-leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
3 large (outer) celery ribs, very thinly sliced on a long diagonal (about 3 cups)
1 cup tender inner celery leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Simmer water and onion in a small saucepan, uncovered, until onion is softened and most of water is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Purée in a blender with vinegar, caraway seeds, sugar, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream and blend until dressing is emulsified.
  • Combine lettuce, celery, and celery leaves in a large bowl and toss with just enough dressing to coat.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp red leaf lettuce and celery: The fresher the produce, the better the salad will taste. Look for leaves that are brightly colored and free of blemishes, and celery stalks that are firm and crisp.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the celery: This will help the celery to blend in with the lettuce and make the salad more enjoyable to eat. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can use a mandoline or food processor to slice the celery.
  • Toast the caraway seeds before using them in the dressing: This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can spread them out on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil in the dressing: The quality of the olive oil will make a big difference in the taste of the salad. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Season the salad to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the salad will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Red leaf and celery salad with caraway seed dressing is a simple and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of the crisp lettuce, crunchy celery, and flavorful dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try.
