Celery Salad

This is a recipe I have customized from an old Martha Stewart one (don't hate me, please!)  It makes a great side dish or could even be a meal on its own with some added protein such as chicken or shrimp.

Celery Salad

Salad
2-3 celery stalks cut on the bias
1/2 chopped green apple
1/4 cup sliced sweet onion
leaves from celery stalks

Dressing
1 tbsp course ground mustard
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Combine mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper into a small bowl, which until combined and set aside.  Place celery, apple and onion in a large bowl and stir to combine.  Pour dressing over and stir to coat.  If desired, add the celery leaves and stir just until combined.  This can be served immediately as in, or it can be refrigerated for up to a couple of days.  A sneeze of fresh lemon before serving can bring a fresh and lively note as a finishing touch.
