Are you looking for a fresh and healthy salad that uses the whole celery, including the leaves? Then you'll love our Celery and Apple Salad with Yogurt Dressing. This salad is easy to make, delicious, and nutritious. It's perfect for a light lunch, a side dish, or a snack.
Celery and apple are a great combination, as they both have a crisp and juicy texture and a sweet and tangy flavour. They also have many health benefits, such as:
- Organic Celery is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It can boost your immune system, lower your blood pressure, improve your digestion, balance your pH levels, and more.
- Organic Apple is also a good source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It can help lower cholesterol, prevent diabetes, protect your brain, and keep you full.
-
Yogurt is a probiotic food that can improve your gut health, strengthen your bones, and support your immune system. It also adds creaminess and protein to the salad.
This salad is also a no-waste recipe, as it uses the whole celery, including the leaves. Celery leaves are edible and have a similar flavour to the stalks, but more intense. They also have more vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium than the stalks. You can use them as a garnish or mix them with the salad.
Ingredients:
- 4 stalks of organic celery, with leaves
- 2 organic apples, cored and sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup of plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Wash the celery and separate the leaves from the stalks.
Chop the stalks into bite-sized pieces and reserve the leaves for later.
In a large bowl, toss the celery, apples, and walnuts together.
In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
Sprinkle the celery leaves over the salad as a garnish.
Enjoy as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
