Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Trim celery ribs to remove leaves (reserving the trimmings for stock), and peel ribs with vegetable peeler if outer surface is tough or fibrous. Wash and cut the ribs into 2-inch pieces. Then press the pieces flat on the table and cut them lengthwise into thin strips. You should have about 2½ cups. Place in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Since the apples are not peeled, wash them thoroughly in warm water, scraping lightly with a knife if necessary to remove any surface wax. Stand apples up and cut them lengthwise on all sides into slices ½-inch thick until you reach core. Discard it, pile apple slices together and cut into ½-inch strips. Add pieces to celery along with the all ingredients except lettuce leaves and mix well.

  3. Step 3

    To serve, arrange lettuce leaves on six individual plates and spoon the salad onto the leaves.

Hi all - another version from a recipe I thought was on NYT but couldn’t find it— Add halved green grapes, double lemon juice, lemon zest and skip the sour cream. Super light and fresh!

This was a refreshing side to a cheesy, spicy casserole. I needed a side salad, and I didn’t have greens. I didn’t want to go shopping. I remembered reading recipes for celery salad in NYT Cooking and looked up this recipe. It’s a keeper.

This was a refreshing side to a cheesy, spicy casserole. I didn’t have greens and didn’t feel like going shopping, and I had celery, apples and sour cream, so this was a lifesaver.
