Lemony Celery Crunch Salad
A perfect midwinter salad: crunchy, citrusy & bright with fresh flavor yet also convenient, frugal, easy-to-make (minutes) and minimalist. It's an ideal make-ahead option, too!
Servings: 6 1-cup servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced celery fairly thin, PLUS 1 cup of the celery leaves, chilled
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or oil of choice
- 1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsely leaves
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed or more to taste
- large pinch of sea salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together all of the ingredients. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Storage: Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Celery Seed Options: The celery seeds can be omitted or you can substitute up to 1 teaspoons of dried herbs such as dill, herbes de Provence, or basil.
Celery Leaves: If you plan to store the salad for several days, keep the leaves in a separate container (dry) and then add some to the salad when ready to serve
