  3. Stir in 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let the celery cool completely in the liquid. Drain well.
  6. Arrange 12 large lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Place one celery heart half on each lettuce leaf.
  7. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of drained capers, 1 tablespoon of chopped pimento (optional), and 1/4 cup of sliced black olives (optional).
