Arugula and Pea Shoot Salad with Smoked Salmon

It's awfully hard to slice vegetables thinly and consistently using a knife. That's why chefs use a mandoline for perfect slices of celery root or other hard vegetables, as in this recipe. You don't need an expensive stainless–steel model, the plastic ones work very well. More Terrific Salads

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons white truffle oil or extra-virgin olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1/2 pound celery root, peeled

  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the truffle oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
