I recreated this incredibly addictive Celery Salad, inspired by a dish from the Hotel Citadel in Jerusalem. Celery often takes a backseat, but in this salad, it shines. The combination of crisp celery, sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds, and dried blueberries (or cranberries) creates a satisfyingly fresh and crunchy texture. The tangy lemon honey dressing perfectly complements the salad's flavors.
Prep: 10 mins
Yields: 6 - 8 Servings
Ingredients
2 bunches of celery, chopped
2 large shallots, diced
1 bunch fresh parsley, diced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, diced

For the dressing
2 large lemons, juiced
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil

1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
