Get this easy Provençal celery salad with dijon vinaigrette on the table in under five minutes.
While most celery recipes focus on the tender hearts, this crisp, refreshing salad makes a point to use up the whole bunch, including the oft-overlooked leaves. The recipe comes to us from Georges Testa, the third-generation owner of Le Moulin Bleu confectionery and tearoom in Provence.
Like many locals, Testa observes Christmas with a meal called either the repas maigre or, paradoxically, the gros souper , which consists of seven meatless dishes such as brandade de morue, vegetable gratins, and a whole poached fish. This celery salad dressed with a simple mustard vinaigrette always makes an appearance on Testa’s holiday table but would serve as an excellent side dish any time of year. Featured in “Provence Noël” by Nancy Coons in the December 2006 issue.
