Celery salad with nuts
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The main ingredients of the salad are apples, celery stalks, and walnuts. The dressing is a mix of mayonnaise (or yogurt) with lemon juice and pepper. The salad turns out fresh and crunchy—pure vitamins. Serve chilled.

Step 1
To make a classic American celery and nut salad, we need to cut apples and celery into julienne strips. There's no need to peel the apples, as the skin contains vitamins, and without it, the apple would lose its appearance in the salad.

Step 2
Now take the shelled walnuts and crush them in a mortar or chop with a knife. Sometimes, due to my natural laziness, I simply cut them in half—my kids actually prefer them that way.

Step 3
Take a bowl and mix mayonnaise in it—I prefer low-fat yogurt—combine it with lemon juice and pepper. Be careful! It's better not to overdo white pepper, as it is very spicy and bitter; just a little is added to salads for a piquant flavor. For those who categorically dislike both mayonnaise and yogurt, you can replace them with plain olive oil mixed with soy sauce.

Step 4
Now add the vegetables to the sauce, mix them, distribute onto plates, and serve. Those who want the salad to be more filling can add finely chopped boiled chicken meat.
