celery-radicchio slaw with celery leaf pesto dressing

First let me say I love celery. I mean seriously love it. I keep slices in a refrigerator container and munch them like peanuts when I'm working. Radicchio is high on my list of likes as well. I put them together in this salad to take advantage of the best of many textures and flavors. Thin slices of sweet, crisp outer stalks of celery contrast with the tenderness of ultra-thin radicchio. Thin-sliced scallions deepen the flavors, while lemon and olive oil brighten them. Finally, you'll make a celery-leaf pesto to turn into the salad's dressing. <br /> <br />A note about Meyer lemons: they are naturally sweeter than conventional lemons. If Meyer lemons are not available, use one regular lemon and an orange or tangerine for both the juice and zest.
