Best Watercress Celery And Parsley Salad Recipes

WATERCRESS AND CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Using a mandoline, shave the celery paper thin.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Blanch the celery for 30 seconds. Drain the celery in a colander and immediately transfer it to the ice water. As soon as the celery is cool, drain and transfer to paper towels to remove any excess water. Dry the bowl. Add the celery, onion, and watercress, and toss well.
• In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, and capers. Using a fork or whisk, stir until the mixture is homogenized. Slowly drizzle in the oil, constantly whisking until it thickens.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the celery and watercress, and toss well. Add the cheese and salami, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Divide the salad among 4 cold salad plates, and serve immediately.

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.

CELERY AND PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine celery, parsley, vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top with pomegranate seeds, if using.

PEAR, CELERY AND FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup farro as the label directs. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl to cool. Toss with 2 chopped pears, 2 thinly sliced celery stalks, 1/2 cup each parsley and shredded parmesan and 3 tablespoons each olive oil and cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together juice, sugar and oil. Toss well with nuts and greens. Season and check.

PEA, HAM HOCK & WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the peas in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 3 mins (or 1 min if frozen). Drain and run under cold water to stop them cooking. Whisk the dressing ingredients together with some seasoning until emulsified.
• Mix the ham hock with the peas, parsley and dressing in a large bowl. Transfer the salad to a platter or spoon onto individual plates. Scatter over the spring onions and watercress just before serving.

EGG & PARSLEY SALAD WITH WATERCRESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and boil the eggs for 9 mins, then drain, cool, peel and halve. Whizz the watercress and oil together with a pinch of salt and set aside. Mix the chilli flakes with some flaky salt and set aside. Everything can be prepared the day before and chilled, though there's no need to chill the salt.
• Take everything to the picnic in separate containers, then when you get there, scatter the eggs with the parsley and shallots, drizzle everything with the watercress oil and season with the chilli salt.
