Celery Nut Salad Recipes

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
• When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a bowl. Add celery, walnuts, and raisins, then toss. Combine the mayo and sour cream in another bowl, then fold into the apple mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pack in tightly covered, small plastic containers.

Steps:

• String the celery and finely slice.
• Grill (or use hot, dry pan) the walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds until they smell toasty.
• For the dressing whisk the vinegar, olive oil, yoghurt, honey, garlic, capers, sea salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Julienne the apples (cut into thin strips).
• Combine the apple, celery and leaves and watercress and lightly toss. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, scatter with toasted walnuts and seeds, and serve.
