  This Sicilian-style salad is more heavily dressed than other green salads, so that there's extra oil and vinegar to soak up with bread.

  

Ingredients

Makes 10 servings

  3 bunches arugula (3/4 lb), coarse stems discarded and leaves torn into pieces

  1/2 lb Bibb lettuce (2 small heads), leaves torn if large

  1 celery heart (1/2 lb), thinly sliced on a sharp diagonal

  1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced crosswise

  1/2 lb cherry tomatoes, halved

  1/2 lb brine-cured black olives (1 cup), drained

  2 tablespoons drained bottled capers, rinsed

  1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (preferably Sicilian)

  2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

  Combine arugula, lettuce, celery, onion, tomatoes, olives, and capers in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then toss. Drizzle with vinegar and toss again.

  Cooks' notes:

  •If your sea salt is very granular and pebblelike, crush it using the flat side of a large heavy knife or the bottom of a heavy skillet.

  •Greens can be washed and torn 1 day ahead and chilled in sealed plastic bags lined with dampened paper towels.
