I recently mentioned my unshakable love for all things celery<\/a>, and my love for Ina Garten is no secret.<\/p>\n So when I saw her make this salad a few years back on Barefoot Contessa, it should come as no surprise that it was the very next thing I made.<\/p>\n It was delicious. And I didn\u2019t even need \u201cgood<\/em>\u201d olive oil.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I swear, that woman wants you to break out the good olive oil for every dish!<\/p>\n Seeing as that isn\u2019t possible on anything but an East Hampton budget, I\u2019m here to tell you that the only thing you need to splurge on for this recipe is organic celery. Even then, it isn\u2019t really necessary. I just figure if celery is going to be the star, get some good celery!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The rest of the salad ingredients are pretty standard, except for the anchovy paste. If you don\u2019t have any, I\u2019m begging you \u2013 give it a shot! When used in small amounts, it won\u2019t add a fishy taste to anything, I swear! It\u2019s simply another layer of salty umami goodness that you can\u2019t quite put your finger on, but you know it\u2019s tasty as all get-out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the dressing to the garnishes, everything in this salad manages to add\u00a0interesting\u00a0and complex flavors while putting the celery on a pedestal of celebratory awesomeness.<\/p>\n This is easily one of of my favorite salads.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eat this alongside a heavy main course for a refreshing and crunchy side salad, or even as a bed for a slow roasted piece of salmon<\/a>, as I did the other day!<\/p>\n <\/p>\nCelery and Parmesan Salad<\/span><\/h2>\n
