Arugula Salad With Anchovy Dressing Recipes

WILD ARUGULA, CELERY AND APPLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• Make dressing. Rinse anchovies briefly and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat in a small skillet and add anchovies and garlic. Stir until garlic is fragrant and just beginning to color and anchovies have broken down into smaller bits. Transfer to a mortar and pestle. Use the pestle to grind mixture into a paste. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the still-hot pan and stir to deglaze bottom of pan, then transfer to mortar and pestle. Add mustard. Work together, then slowly add olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, working each tablespoon into anchovy mixture before adding the next. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
• In a salad bowl, toss together arugula, celery and celery leaves, and apple slices. Add dressing, toss until coated, and serve.
