GREEN APPLE AND CELERY SALAD WITH WALNUT AND MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Green Apple and Celery Salad With Walnut and Mustard Vinaigrette image

This was a very crisp refreshing salad - I found it to be a perfect foil to the traditional heavy Thanksgiving spread. And it was so simple to make! I did all the prep ahead of time, and simply tossed the celery and apple peices into cold water with some lemon juice to prevent browning. I would definately put this on the menu for next year.
