Lettuce and Celery Salad with Truffles (Piedmont)

Salads

Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce. Wash the heart, take the leaves apart, then tear them into small pieces. Wash the celery stalk, pull off any coarse strings and cut them into chunks. Mix the lettuce and celery into a salad bowl. Dress with olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice, adding more oil or lemon if preferred. Toss lightly, then sprinkle with the truffle slices and spoon over the cream.
