CELERY AND RADISH SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA

Celery and Radish Salad With Gorgonzola image

Use the delicate hearts, or inner stalks, of celery for this salad. Slice both the celery and radishes very thin; it goes faster than you'd think but you can use a food processor to speed up the process.

1 1/4 pounds celery hearts (about 2), stalks separated, rinsed, dried and sliced very thin (about 4 1/2 cups)
1 bunch radishes, sliced very thin (if they are very round and fat, cut them in half lengthwise and slice half-moons)
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 ounce gorgonzola, crumbled (about 1/4 cup) (you can substitute other blue cheeses like Roquefort)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Combine the celery, radishes, parsley, chives, walnuts and gorgonzola in a salad bowl. Toss with the vinegar, olive oil and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve.
