Celery Salad (Salade de Céleri)
This crisp salad is refreshing and simple to prepare.
Yield: serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch celery
Instructions
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a large salad bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly, to form a smooth and tart dressing. Set aside.
- Pluck all the leaves from celery; set aside. Remove the outer ribs of the celery. (Save the innermost ribs from the core of the bunch for another use.) Roughly chop the celery ribs into 1⁄2"–3⁄4" pieces. Add celery to bowl with dressing and toss well to coat. Adjust the seasonings.
