Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh-squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of your choice
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 stalks celery large stalks with leaves
- 2 each apples large Granny Smith salt to taste
- ½ cup walnuts toasted then chopped
- cranberries optional reduced sugar dried
Instructions
- Whisk together the fresh lemon juice, Dijon Mustard, Agave Nectar or sweetener, and olive oil and set dressing aside.
- Working with one apple at a time, cut apple into fourths, peel and cut away seeds, cut each fourth into half crosswise, then cut each piece into thin wedges.
- Toss cut apples with a small amount of dressing as soon as they are cut so apples won’t turn brown.
- Toast walnuts in a dry pan over high heat for about 2 minutes, or until they start to smell toasty. (The toasted walnuts will smell a bit like popcorn.)
- Wash celery stalks and dry with paper towels, making sure both stalks and leaves are very dry.
- Cut leaves away from stalks and chop to make 1/2 cup chopped celery leaves.
- Slice stalks into thin slices, enough to make 2-3 cups sliced celery.
- Combine sliced celery, chopped celery leaves, and apple/dressing mixture and stir to combine.
- Add enough more dressing so celery and apples are well moistened, but not overly wet. (You may not need all the dressing.)
- Season salad with salt to taste.
- Coarsely chop walnuts, then mix walnuts and dried cranberries (if using) into salad and serve.
