Though this unpretentious salad goes beautifully with all the other dishes, it can also bridge dinner and dessert. The toasted celery seeds add a peppery, herbaceous bite to the vinaigrette, and all those leafy greens will make you feel virtuous before you dive into pie.
CooksĀ note:
Vinaigrette can be made 2 days ahead and chilled.
