Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 8 large celery ribs, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 green apple, peeled and diced
  • ½ English cucumber, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill

Dressing and Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, from 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the celery ribs using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer on the rounded side, then thinly slice to make about 4 cups. Peel and dice the green apple, seed and dice half an English cucumber, and finely chop the fresh dill.
  2. Combine Everything: In a large bowl, add the sliced celery, diced green apple, diced cucumber, and chopped dill. Toss to combine all the fresh ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Dressing and Seasoning: Sprinkle in the salt and sugar, then drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Toss the salad thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are coated and well mixed.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if desired for a balanced flavor.
  5. Serve: Chill the salad briefly if preferred and serve cold as a light, refreshing side dish.

Notes

  • To peel the celery, use a vegetable peeler to lightly remove the outer fibrous layer from the rounded side of the ribs for a more tender texture.
  • Use an English cucumber for less bitter seeds; ensure to remove the seeds before dicing.
  • Adjust sugar and lemon juice amounts according to your taste preference for sweetness and acidity balance.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day.
