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.

Notes about this recipe

  • lholtzman on April 05, 2026

    This salad is addictive. The saltiness of the cheese cuts through the cool, watery snap of the celery, while the earthy, toasted notes of the walnuts provide a rich, lingering finish. The author notes that this salad is not fancy enough to serve to aristocrats, but it definitely feels fancy to me. I don’t know if I would serve this at a dinner party given people’s feelings toward celery, but I would serve as a side to many dishes. I quartered the recipe. Also, I ended up using finely grated pecorino because I had leftover from another recipe.
