Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large ribs celery, peeled top to bottom with a vegetable peeler, removing all fibrous strings
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces (1 bag or 2 bunches) watercress, stems trimmed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon nonpareil capers (not salt-packed; do not drain)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese shavings
2 ounces (about 20 slices) thinly sliced cacciatorini or Felino, Genoa, or hard salami, julienned
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Provided by katie in the UP

Categories     Citrus

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oranges (I used Blood Oranges)
1 bunch watercress
1/2 red onion, medium-sized
2 1/2 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice away the tops and bottoms of oranges. Cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the orange, slice away the peel and white pith.
  • Slice between the membranes of the orange segments. Remove the segments. Squeeze the juice from the membrane, and reserve.
  • Wash watercress thoroughly in cold water. Thinly slice the onion half and soak it in cold water; a brief soaking removes harsh, bitter flavors.
  • Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.
  • Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.
  • Divide among salad plates and serve.
