Celery, apple, and peanut salad
Savor the taste of crunchy celery, crisp apple, and roasted peanuts in this refreshing salad bursting with flavors and textures.
Ingredients:
- large celery stalks, peeled, sliced ¼ inch thick on a diagonal
- scallions, trimmed, thinly sliced on a steep diagonal
- medium apples (such as Fuji and/or Braeburn), halved, cored, cut into ¼-inch-thick wedges
- Fresno chile, very thinly sliced into rings, seeds removed
- tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped, divided
- cup parsley leaves, divided
- tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Instructions:
- Place celery and scallions in a bowl filled with ice water and let them sit for 20 minutes. This will help the celery become extra crunchy and will make the scallions curl. After that, drain them using paper towels and then move them to a big bowl.
- Combine apples, chile, and lemon juice; season it with salt and pepper. Mix well. Taste it and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
- Mix in half of the peanuts, half of the parsley, and 2 tablespoons of oil; toss everything together. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts and parsley on top; drizzle some more oil. Refrigerate until cold before serving, which usually takes about 15 minutes.
