From the December 2004 issue of Cook's Illustrated Magazine. A salad for bleu cheese lovers. Makes a great company salad for special occasions. For the olive oil I substituted 2 tablespoons of hazelnut oil plus 1 tablespoon of bland oil. A mouthwatering taste of tangy, sweet and tart. Try different types of bleu cheese for variety and personal preference.

CELERY SALAD WITH APPLES AND BLUE CHEESE



Celery Salad With Apples and Blue Cheese image

Celery is perhaps at its best in salad: Its flavor is at its brightest and its crunch is unapologetically assertive. Celery root complements the chopped stalks, apples add sweetness and blue cheese - celery's classic cohort - provides punch. Flavorful enough to stand on its own, this salad isn't so striking that it doesn't play well with others. Celery salad makes a welcome addition to the Thanksgiving table, particularly since the crunchy salad ingredients are strong enough to stay sturdy if refrigerated overnight.

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
4 teaspoons coarse mustard
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head celery, trimmed, stalks peeled and thinly sliced on the diagonal, leaves reserved
2 tart red apples, such as Pink Lady
1 small celery root (about 12 ounces)
1 packed cup fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted, salted almonds
1 cup crumbled bold, creamy but firm blue cheese (4 to 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Prepare the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, shallot, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the sliced celery and toss to coat.
  • Core the apples, then slice them lengthwise into very thin wedges using a knife or mandoline. Add to the sliced celery and toss to coat. Peel or slice off the outer skin and layers of the celery root until no brown skin remains. Cut the celery root in half lengthwise, then slice into very thin half-moons using a knife or a mandoline. Add to the celery and apple mixture and toss to coat. (The salad will hold up fairly well refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours - or even overnight - from this point.)
  • Just before serving, add the parsley, almonds and half the cheese, and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter; top with the remaining cheese, the reserved celery leaves and fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately.

HEARTS OF ROMAINE SALAD WITH APPLES, CHEESE AND HAZELNUTS



Hearts of Romaine Salad With Apples, Cheese and Hazelnuts image

Make and share this Hearts of Romaine Salad With Apples, Cheese and Hazelnuts recipe from Food.com.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Fruit

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 -6 cups of hearts romaine leaves (the light green, crisp inner portion of a head of Romaine lettuce)
2 -3 flavorful apples, peeled and cored, then sliced as described below (such as Braeburn, Fuji, or Honeycrisp)
scant 1 cup of crumbled blue cheese
1 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts
1/2 cup red wine vinegar or 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sweet honey mustard (I use Inglehoffer brand made here in Oregon)
1/4 teaspoon salt (reduced from 1/2 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup grapeseed oil (in place of canola)

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette: In a container, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, sweet mustard, salt and vanilla. Whisk in the oil. Makes a generous 1 cup of vinaigrette.
  • Salad: Arrange the romaine on individual salad plates.
  • To prepare the peeled and cored apples, cut each half into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into thirds.
  • Place the apples in a small bowl and toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the pieces. You can prepare the apple mixture up to an hour ahead. Important: If you coat the apples with the dressing any longer than that, they will absorb too much of the vinaigrette, which overwhelms the apple flavor.
  • Divide the apple mixture among the salads. Top each serving with a portion of the cheese and then a portion of the hazelnuts.
  • Drizzle an extra bit of the vinaigrette over the greens and around the edges of the salad. Serve.
  • Alternatively: Instead of hearts of Romaine lettuce, consider a mixture of baby spinach, hearts of Romaine and/or other mixed young greens. You could also substitute feta or white cheddar, aged gouda, etc. for the blue cheese.
  • Another serving option would be to assemble the entire salad on a large platter instead of individual salad plates.
