Directions

Tips

• Use fresh and crispy celery. For this salad, choose celery with a firm, bright green stem that is neither soft nor rubbery. Avoid celery with wilted leaves, brown spots or discoloration.
• Slice the celery thinly to make it easier to eat. You can use a mandolin or a vegetable slicer for this.
• Choose fresh and seasonal vegetables. Combine celery with other vegetables like carrots, radishes, and cucumbers for extra flavor, texture, and color.
• Add ingredients such as apples and raisins to balance the crunchiness of the celery.
• You can use ingredients like grilled chicken, tofu, beans, or nuts to add protein to the salad.
• Add nuts or seeds. You can add nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds to add more crunch.
• Pre-fry the nuts. Roast nuts such as almonds and walnuts in an oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 10 minutes.
• Add roasted walnuts instead of hazelnuts.
• You can use greens such as spinach, kale, and arugula.
• Add fresh herbs such as parsley, coriander, or dill.
• Let the salad sit in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to mingle. This will also help soften the celery a bit.
