During these past few winter months I have posted quite a few sweet recipes, so it’s time for something fresh, savoury and healthy! I love winter celery, and am more than happy to simply bite into crisp pale stalks with no adornment. However, with just a few simple ingredients, this salad makes a nice change.
Celery Salad
For each person, thinly slice 1 large or 2 medium sticks of celery. Add 2 tbsps plain soya yoghurt, 1 tbsp chopped chives, 4 or 5 chopped walnuts, a little lemon juice and some salt and pepper to taste. Mix and enjoy with some crusty bread.
Yum! 😉

Simple and yummy
And healthy too! 😀
Looks so good!
Thanks – you must try it!
Looks refreshing. This winter I’ve had too many sweets and breads and not enough green vegetables. I pulled some celery stalks out to add to a little lunch plate yesterday (sweet potato casserole) and the celery tasted so refreshing.
I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets until Easter, so this was a good start to spring eating!
The term ‘winter celery’ is not one I recognize – it looks like ‘our’ celery but is a lot paler in colour. Love the vegetable anyways, be it for salads or in cooking – this is great, thank you!!
I suppose it is just “celery”, but here the Germans also eat root celery/celeriac a lot, so I’ve got into the habit of differentiating! I love the palest stalks I can find, as they are more tender than the greener ones. 😀
Thanks! Will try to see what difference I can find twixt paler/deeper here! Yes, we have celeriac available here too, but it is as yet not much used in the vegetable world . .
I wouldn’t know what to do with it either… I’ll have to ask a German housewife! LOL!
That does look yummY! Thanks!

Spring may not quite have arrived, but I was yearning for fresh lighter food!
This looks really tasty and refreshing, and a good contrast to stodgy winter food.
Just bought some more celery for the weekend! 😉
It looks yummy and refreshing. My guy loves celery so we will have to try it! 🙂
My guy doesn’t like it – all the more for me! 😉 Thanks for dropping by so faithfully, Strawberryindigo!
Root Selery is one of my favourite vegetable ~ and I take also the one as stick 🙂 Little more snow at the weekend! Liebe Grüsse – Uta
We had some more snow too – very pretty. Have a nice weekend!
Great picture Cathy! I like nuts in a salad, tastes good and they are so delightfully crunchy!
Hi Simone! I just made a different version for dinner tonight – no chives, but some apple, grapes and dried cranberries added! 😀 Yummy!
Hmm. Sounds good too. Would be good without the celery as well, more like a fruity yoghurt
This sounds great! I never thought of combing celery with yogurt, but this really appeals to me! It would also add a little fiber and crunch to the yogurt I eat at noon each day. Sometimes I feel like I swallow it in a bout four bites! I like the idea of adding in a little more nutrition, too. 🙂
It’s lovely mixed with fruit too! 😉
This would be a great, crunchy side dish – and versatile too!
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head – it’s the crunch that makes it so good! And the combinations are endless….
