CELERY AND PARMESAN SALAD

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.

MARINATED CELERY SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Drop in garlic cloves, stir, and set aside 15 to 30 minutes to let the flavor infuse.
• Gradually whisk in oil; dressing will emulsify. Mix in chickpeas, celery and scallions. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Remove garlic cloves from dressing. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Set aside to come to cool room temperature.
• If desired, make croutons, for serving: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull the soft bread out of the center of the loaf, leaving most of the crust behind, and tear bread into bite-size pieces. You should have about 3 cups. Spread pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes, until golden and crisp; let cool.
• Just before serving, mix celery leaves, tomatoes, basil and croutons, if using, into the salad. In a serving bowl, place a layer of greens, if using, in the bottom. Add celery mixture, then top with cheese and more black pepper.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH CARROTS, CELERY, KALAMATAS & PARMESAN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Combine the garlic, yolk and mustard in the bowl of an electric food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the Worcestershire and lemon juice and process again until smooth. With the food processor running, very slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube, adding only a few drops at a time and allowing the oil to incorporate fully and thicken the sauce. Add the grated Parmesan and give a few long pulses to combine. This can be kept refrigerated in an air-tight container for about 2 days. Keep in mind though, the texture is best around room temperature. Cooling the dressing will thicken it. But this can be fixed by whisking in a small amount of water (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup). For the rest of the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the romaine with the sliced carrots, celery and kalamata olives. Add enough dressing to coat it well. (You won’t need to use it all.) Toss well to coat, then add the grated parmesan and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Transfer to a platter or serving plates. Serve immediately.
