Leek and Celery Vinaigrette Salad

Poireau and celery gently braised with herbs in chicken broth, then tossed with a sharp cider vinegar reduction vinaigrette with Dijon and egg yolk. Crisp green apple slices add a refreshing crunch. Cooking focuses on tender vegetables, reduced flavorful liquid, and well-emulsified dressing. The dish is served cool or slightly warm as an elegant starter without gluten, nuts, or dairy. Variations include swapping chicken broth for vegetable stock and celery for fennel to brighten flavors. Visual and tactile cues guide doneness more than exact timing.
