CELERY SALAD WITH APPLES AND BLUE CHEESE
Celery is perhaps at its best in salad: Its flavor is at its brightest and its crunch is unapologetically assertive. Celery root complements the chopped stalks, apples add sweetness and blue cheese - celery's classic cohort - provides punch. Flavorful enough to stand on its own, this salad isn't so striking that it doesn't play well with others. Celery salad makes a welcome addition to the Thanksgiving table, particularly since the crunchy salad ingredients are strong enough to stay sturdy if refrigerated overnight.

Steps:
- Prepare the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, shallot, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the sliced celery and toss to coat.
- Core the apples, then slice them lengthwise into very thin wedges using a knife or mandoline. Add to the sliced celery and toss to coat. Peel or slice off the outer skin and layers of the celery root until no brown skin remains. Cut the celery root in half lengthwise, then slice into very thin half-moons using a knife or a mandoline. Add to the celery and apple mixture and toss to coat. (The salad will hold up fairly well refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours - or even overnight - from this point.)
- Just before serving, add the parsley, almonds and half the cheese, and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter; top with the remaining cheese, the reserved celery leaves and fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cauliflower into even florets. This will help them cook evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. Be careful not to cut yourself!
- Use a good quality blue cheese for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- If you are making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
