Step 3
Place the celery in a saucepan and add water so that it does not completely cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook the celery until tender, about 20 minutes. You can check the celery for doneness with a knife; it should pierce the celery as easily as boiled potatoes.

Slice the celery into thinner slices and pour the dressing over it. Place the boiled celery salad in the refrigerator and wait until it is fully chilled so it absorbs the dressing better. Arrange on a plate, garnish with herbs, and serve.
