Bibb Lettuce And Celery Leaf Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
• Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
• For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, shallot, Dijon, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce and celery; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Puree 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup fresh basil, 2 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons each champagne vinegar and olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each sugar and kosher salt in a blender. Toss with 2 heads torn Bibb lettuce, 2 cups halved pitted cherries and 1/4 cup each sliced almonds and chives; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, shallot, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add oils in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Toss lettuce and celery leaves with just enough vinaigrette to coat in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise and vinegar in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil and parsley.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter and top with the tomatoes, onions and olives. Drizzle with some of the vinaigrette and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, celery slices and leaves, and parsley; toss to combine.
