Celery Caesar Salad

15 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices country-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 anchovy fillet, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ounce Parmesan, grated (about 1/3 cup), plus shaved for serving
  • 2 romaine hearts, leaves separated
  • 8 celery heart stalks, thinly sliced, plus all leaves
  • 1/4 large celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into matchsticks

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°. Toss bread with olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet, squeezing to help it absorb the oil; season with salt. Toast, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp, 5-10 minutes. Let croutons cool.
  2. 2
    Blend egg yolk, anchovy, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard in a blender until smooth. With motor running, gradually drizzle in vegetable oil, blending until thickened. Dressing should be pourable (add a splash or two of water to thin, if needed).
  3. 3
    Transfer dressing to a bowl large enough to hold salad and season with salt and pepper. Mix in grated Parmesan. Add romaine, celery stalks and leaves, and celery root; toss to coat.
  4. 4
    Serve salad topped with croutons and shaved Parmesan
