With hearty ingredients like celery and fennel bulb—and notably lacking in tender salad greens—this autumnal salad is ideal for making ahead! We just love the fact that you’ll be able to prep all of the components for this salad a day or two ahead of time, and even once it’s dressed and on the table, the celery and fennel will stay crunchy. Here’s everything you’ll need to make this earthy salad:
Ingredients:
# Celery
# Fennel bulb
# Pears
# Hazelnuts
# Shaved parmesan
# Golden raisins
# Tarragon
Instructions:
# Begin by chopping everything! If you’re making the salad a day or two ahead of time, chop everything except for the pears, because they’ll turn brown.
# Now make the dressing! Simply combine everything in a blender and purée until you’ve got a creamy, smooth pear dressing.
# Toss it all together! If you’re making the salad ahead, wait to dress it until close to the time you’re going to eat. It doesn’t have to be immediately before serving but try to wait until at least 30 minutes before serving.
