Celery Victor

Salads

Celery Victor is a historical American marinated celery salad invented in 1910 by Victor Hirtzler, head chef at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, who also created Crab Louie. It was popularized by the writer Clarence Edwords in his 1914 book about San Francisco restaurants. The dish is made from celery hearts simmered in veal, chicken or beef stock, then chilled, often in a citrus or vinegar marinade, and tossed with mild peppers before being served cold over romaine lettuce as an appetizer salad.
