Crunchy Celery and Walnut Salad

July 6, 2010 By Kristi Rimkus 22 Comments

You don’t often find celery as the star in salads, but it sure shines in this recipe from myrecipes.com.

Super Crunchy Celery and Walnut Salad

I’ve adjusted the recipe to serve two people, instead of eight. Mike and I just can’t eat 8 portions of celery salad – can’t imagine why that would be. I couldn’t resist swapping out the olive oil for walnut oil. It has a lighter feeling. Then I had to add a few fresh herbs to brighten things up a bit. We have to take advantage of the abundance of fresh produce this time of  year!

The simplicity and crunchiness of this salad makes it a winner for sure!

Happy salad making!

    Salad is the best thing ever at this time of the year. This sounds like a very crunchy and tasty salad. It looks good with the wish you are serving it with.

      I'm so glad! I have to admit, blogging about light cooking has helped keep us on track. We don't eat out much anymore, or go for quick fixes after work. :)

    hi Kristi now I would have never thought of celery by itself in a salad, sure I eat it plain all the time....it makes perfect sense, and the walnuts are a nice addition. thanks for sharing! Dennis

      I know. It's not something that usually stands by itself, is it. It was simple and very good.

      Simple and perfect for a picnic since there isn't anything in it that would spoil quickly.
