Rachael Rays Celery Portabella Salad Recipes

MY FRIEND VICKI'S MOM'S CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Combine salad ingredients in a bowl and dress with vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil and season the salad with salt and pepper.

SLICED GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SORTA-CAESAR SALADS

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil evenly over mushroom caps liberally then rub with rosemary and grill seasoning. Grill 3 to 4 minutes on each side - until dark and tender. Remove the caps and reserve.
• While mushrooms cook, toast split rolls or bread under broiler until deeply golden then rub with 1 clove of cracked, split garlic. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the bread and season with a little pepper then chop bread into cubes.
• Rub the inside of a bowl with remaining cracked clove of garlic. Combine the lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, hot sauce and anchovy paste. Whisk in 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add the greens and bread to the bowl and toss greens with dressing to coat. Add cheese to salad and toss again then season with black pepper, to taste. Top servings of salad with sliced mushrooms across the top.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Arrange the mushrooms and celery on a platter and scatter the parsley leaves around. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly over the platter then liberally drizzle the salad with extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Season the salad with salt and lots of black pepper and toss with your finger tips to combine. Using a vegetable peeler, shave cheese and scatter a couple of handfuls Parmigiano-Reggiano over the salad.

EARTHY PORTOBELLO SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• TIDBIT - larger markets carry very tiny bottles of truffle oil. It makes a very tasty drizzle over the top of this salad.
• Heat broiler. Arrange the prosciutto on foil covered baking sheet and broil to make crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve.
• Arrange the thinly sliced vegetables on a platter with parsley and arugula. Dress the salad with lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. Drizzle with truffle oil, optional. Break up the crispy prosciutto and scatter over the salad. Serve.
