This celery salad recipe will surprise you! Crisp celery, toasted almonds, dates and Parmesan combine to create an irresistibly fresh salad. Prepare the celery and place it in the ice bath (step 1) before you start working on the remaining ingredients. Recipe yields 4 side salad portions.
Recipe minimally adapted from Six Seasons byย Joshua McFaddenย and Martha Holmberg.
*Parmesan note: Most Parmesans are not technically vegetarian (they contain animal rennet), but Whole Foods 365 and BelGioioso brands offerย vegetarian Parmesans.
Change it up: I haven’t tried, but I imagine dried cherries, cranberriesย or chopped apricots would be nice instead of the dates.ย Iย bet walnuts would be good in place of the almonds, too.
Make it nut free: Try substituting freshly toasted sunflower seeds in place of the almonds.
Make it dairy free/vegan: The Parmesanย rounds out the salad’s flavor, but it’s also nice without the cheese. You might finish the salad with some flaky sea salt (Maldon brand) instead.
