Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 stalks celery (about 1 bunch), cut into 1-inch pieces
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon green hot sauce
1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 bunch watercress, torn (3 to 4 cups)
1 1/4 pounds blade steak, about 3/4 inch thick (4 to 6 steaks)
2 bunches scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the celery, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; roast until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, honey, hot sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl. Add the roasted celery and toss. Add the lettuce and watercress but don't toss.
