My Celery Salad

I invented this in February 2000. I'd searched my books and the internet and could not find a recipe that sounded good. Of course, after I put this together, I found several similar.





List of Ingredients



• 10-12 ribs celery, cut in ample 1/2" dice
  
• 1 cup fresh parsley, minced
  
• 2 tablespoons capers
  
• 3 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
  
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil
  
• 1-2 teaspoons fresh oregan
  
• 1 package feta cheese, crumbled (3 ounces)
  
• 1/4 cup Italian dressing
  
• Squeeze of 1 lemon
  
• Arugula
  
• Tomatoes
  
• Hard-cooked eggs
  
• Anchovies
  






Instructions



1. Mix first nine ingredients (celery through lemon juice). Chill about an hour.
   
2. Arrange several leaves of arugula on a salad plate. Spoon celery salad on top. Garnish with tomato wedges, hard-cooked eggs, and 1-2 anchovy fillets.
   






Final Comments


Romaine lettuce is a good substitute for arugula and available year-long. Omit anchovies if diners do not like them. Substitute blue cheese for feta, if desired.
