RED-LEAF AND CELERY SALAD WITH CARAWAY-SEED DRESSING
A basic vinaigrette would overpower delicate red-leaf lettuce; instead, we opted for a subtle dressing that gets its creaminess from puréed onions.

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.

CELERY SEED DRESSING
Have had this recipe for quite a while. Just recently it was served (by a caterer) at a luncheon I was at. They also added chinese noodles which gave it a wonderful crunch. I think that I will try it with candied pecans the next time I make it.

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.
