Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
12 leaves rosemary minced
1 clove garlic peeled
1 teaspoon sugar
½ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 large celery stalks sliced thinly
2 pieces heirloom apples cut into sixths and then thinly sliced
4 handfuls arugula, baby gems, or baby romaine
⅓ cup toasted hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, or pine nuts

Instructions

Make the dressing first. Crush the sea salt, rosemary, garlic, and sugar into a paste with a mortar and pestle (or smash it all together with a knife). Work in the crème fraîche and vinegar, taste and adjust with a bit of pepper and more salt if needed.
When you're ready to serve, combine the celery, apples, salad greens, and most of the nuts with a few half of the dressing. Toss well, adding more dressing until it is to your liking. Finish with the remaining nuts, and any torn celery leaves.

Notes

Serves 4-6. If you're not going to use the apples immediately keep them in a bowl of water spiked with a bit of lemon juice (or the white wine vinegar you're using for the dressing). Drain and pat dry before using.
