Celery And Apple Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Set toasted pecans aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, and sugar until smooth.
• Add celery and apple; season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Crumble toasted pecans on top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toss the diced apples with the lemon juice.
• Add the diced celery.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar and tarragon.
• Pour mayo mixture over salad and toss to coat.
• Season with salt if desired.
• Chill and serve.

Steps:

• Trim celery ribs to remove leaves (reserving the trimmings for stock), and peel ribs with vegetable peeler if outer surface is tough or fibrous. Wash and cut the ribs into 2-inch pieces. Then press the pieces flat on the table and cut them lengthwise into thin strips. You should have about 2 1/2 cups. Place in a bowl.
• Since the apples are not peeled, wash them thoroughly in warm water, scraping lightly with a knife if necessary to remove any surface wax. Stand apples up and cut them lengthwise on all sides into slices 1/2-inch thick until you reach core. Discard it, pile apple slices together and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Add pieces to celery along with the all ingredients except lettuce leaves and mix well.
• To serve, arrange lettuce leaves on six individual plates and spoon the salad onto the leaves.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk first 3 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
• Trim celery leaves and chop enough to measure 1 cup. Thinly slice stalks on deep diagonal. Place celery pieces in bowl of cold water. (Vinaigrette, celery leaves, and celery pieces can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
• Drain celery; pat dry with paper towels. Combine celery, celery leaves, apples, and walnuts in large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Dressing: Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add next 3 ingredients. Stir until coated.
