Equipment
- mortar and pestle
- knife
- bowl
Ingredients
Dressing
- ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 12 leaves rosemary minced
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup crème fraîche (or sour cream)
- 2 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salad
- 3 large celery stalks sliced thinly
- 2 whole heirloom apples cut into sixths, and then thinly sliced
- 4 handfuls salad greens arugula, baby gems, or baby romaine
- ⅓ cup toasted nuts hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, or pine nuts
Instructions
Prepare the Dressing
- Make the dressing first. Crush the sea salt, rosemary, garlic, and sugar into a paste with a mortar and pestle (or smash it all together with a knife). Work in the creme fraiche and vinegar, taste and adjust with a bit of pepper and more salt if needed.
Assemble the Salad
- When you're ready to serve, combine the celery, apples, salad greens, and most of the nuts with a few half of the dressing. Toss well, adding more dressing until it is to your liking. Finish with the remaining nuts, and any torn celery leaves.
Notes
*Serves 4-6. If you're not going to use the apples immediately keep them in a bowl of water spiked with a bit of lemon juice (or the white wine vinegar you're using for the dressing). Drain and pat dry before using.
