ARUGULA SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING
Peppery, crisp arugula stands up nicely to the punch of this garlicky, anchovy-filled dressing. You can adjust the dressing's pungency by adding more or fewer anchovies. The dressing will keep for a few days in the fridge, but the oil will solidify, so remember to take it out at least an hour before serving, and shake it really well.

WILD ARUGULA, CELERY AND APPLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING
The dressing in this salad is inspired by a much more robust dressing in Jennifer McLagan's wonderful new cookbook, "Bitter." I have reduced the anchovies significantly, not because I don't adore anchovies, but to reduce the sodium levels, which would be too high if an entire can were used. The salad presents a delicious play of bitter, pungent, sweet and salty flavors.

Steps:
- Make dressing. Rinse anchovies briefly and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat in a small skillet and add anchovies and garlic. Stir until garlic is fragrant and just beginning to color and anchovies have broken down into smaller bits. Transfer to a mortar and pestle. Use the pestle to grind mixture into a paste. Add lemon juice or vinegar to the still-hot pan and stir to deglaze bottom of pan, then transfer to mortar and pestle. Add mustard. Work together, then slowly add olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, working each tablespoon into anchovy mixture before adding the next. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
- In a salad bowl, toss together arugula, celery and celery leaves, and apple slices. Add dressing, toss until coated, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, young arugula: Look for arugula with bright green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the arugula thoroughly: Rinse the arugula in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Dry the arugula thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat the arugula dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
- Make the anchovy dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Use good quality anchovies: Look for anchovies that are packed in olive oil and have a firm texture.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Toss the arugula with just enough dressing to coat the leaves.
Conclusion:
Arugula salad with anchovy dressing is a simple, yet delicious, salad that is perfect for any occasion. The peppery flavor of the arugula pairs perfectly with the salty, briny flavor of the anchovies. This salad is also very versatile and can be customized to your liking.

No matter how you choose to make it, arugula salad with anchovy dressing is sure to be a hit.
