Use the delicate hearts, or inner stalks, of celery for this salad. Slice both the celery and radishes very thin; it goes faster than you’d think but you can use a food processor to speed up the process.

I added a chopped apple, used more blue cheese, and served small portions of this, each topped with a piece of deep-fried duck (we were making a fancy multi-course dinner). AMAZING.

This salad is amazing. Simple, yet hearty because of the walnuts and blue cheese. I used some walnut vinegar because I had it, and lemon juice. And added shredded carrots for more crunch & color. Can't wait to eat the leftovers.

Lovely salad. Added edamame to make it a lunch entree.

I had low expectations as I had all the ingredients (except I used feta) but not in the called-for amounts. It was excellent!! Lots of crunch and great flavors. Apparently, a very versatile recipe. I will be making it again.

Celery is an underrated salad base. It soaks up dressing and plays well with different add ins plus it stays crunchy even after a few days. I whisked together dressing and added veg as I cut them. I let everything but walnut and blue cheese marinate for a couple of hours before serving. This was a great use of my csa radishes.

I don’t care for radishes but my garden box came with a ton—this is a great salad!!
