SHAVED CELERY & SWEET PEPPER SALAD WITH WATERCRESS, PECORINO & MINT

Steps:

• If possible, use a mandoline, V-slicer or other vegetable slicer to shave the vegetables as thinly as possible. Otherwise, use a sharp chef's knife. Put the celery, bell pepper, watercress and mint in a large serving bowl. With a cheese plane or vegetable peeler, shave about 2 ounces of cheese into the bowl. Put the olive oil, vinegar and salt to taste in a shaker jar and shake well. Pour enough of the dressing over the salad to moisten all the vegetables. (You may not need it all.) Toss, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve immediately.
