This quick tossed salad combines celery hearts, romaine, and cucumber with hearts of palm and Fresh Thyme Vinaigrette for an elegant and easy first course.
What to buy: Use the delicate inner stalks of the head of celery, including the tender leaves. Don’t be fooled by the whole celery stalks packaged as celery hearts.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 pound romaine hearts, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
- 1 medium English or Persian cucumber, seeded and cut into large dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup coarsely chopped celery hearts (inner leafy stalks)
- 1/2 cup sliced hearts of palm
- Fresh Thyme Vinaigrette
INSTRUCTIONS
- Toss together romaine hearts, cucumber, celery hearts, and hearts of palm in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately.

Fabulous! I add some chile flakes and crushed dill seed, and don't use sugar in the vinaigrette.
