Best Green Apple And Celery Salad With Walnuts And Mustard Vinaigrette Recipes

CELERY, SUNCHOKE, AND GREEN APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Celery, Sunchoke, and Green Apple Salad with Walnuts and Mustard Vinaigrette image

Peter Berley, author of "The Flexitarian Table," created this healthier version of a traditional family favorite. "The apple is tart; the celery has a saline minerality; and the sunchokes provide earthiness. Treble, alto, and bass. Walnuts add the sweetness and fat, which really ties the salad together."

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.
