Salad For Dinner

Celery transforms from a stringy crudité to a salad star when sliced paper thin against the grain. Parmesan and a generous dose of olive oil make it a satisfying entrée in its own right, but for extra heft, try succulent slices of rotisserie chicken (or leftover roast chicken). Either way, make certain to make enough for leftovers. Unlike delicate greens, sturdy celery stays crisp when dressed and is an excellent brown-bag lunch.
