Celery and Roquefort Salad

I first started to discover France through her iconic cheeses. Although I’ve loved Roquefort since I was small, I only recently visited the small town of Roquefort where the cheese is made. During my visit, I stopped in to visit Alice Ricard. Alice raises sheep in the area, and her sheep supply milk to a few of the Roquefort makers in the area. As we visited in her small tasting shop, I asked her what her favorite dish with Roquefort was. To my complete surprise, she answered that she loved it with celery! And that has always been my absolute favorite way with Roquefort, et voilà:   Céleri au Roquefort Celery and Roquefort Salad Pronounced: sehl uh ree / oh / rok for   INGREDIENTS: 8-10 celery stalks, include one or two of the smaller center stalks 1/4 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese white pepper   For the vinaigrette: 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar pinch of sea salt 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil   PREPARATION: 1.
