Fingerlings vinaigrette with sieved eggs and pickled celery from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and Wisdom from an Obsessive Home Cook (page 59) by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    With fingerlings fresh from the garden, this was great choice. The vinaigrette is lovely with the 2 mustards (& easy to sweeten a bit if that is your thing) and the pickled celery is great addition. I did bail early on the sieving of the egg & ultimately just gave it a super fine chop which we thought was fine. ONE THING - I am surprised that no one has commented on the ingredient list that equates 1 lb to 905 g.....even Serious Eats (the online link) says nothing even though one commenter specifically asked about it.

    I made some modifications to this recipe, but the important thing to note is that the pickled celery is fantastic.

    This was good! The fluffy egg was a great idea and worked well in the end dish.

    Alarmingly good. Pickled celery is now a staple in our fridge. The hardboiled egg fluff + mustardy dressing + vinegary, salty celery is shocking and addicting.

    Elegant, yet bold-flavored, this potato salad was easy to put together and pretty flawless in flavor. The elements may sound disparate and weird, but I'd encourage you to try this salad as written...
