I liked it. Quick and easy. Substituted yellow bell pepper for lettuce and Dijon mustard for horseradish as that’s what I had in the fridge. Will make it again.

Surprisingly good. Onions, capers, and horseradish are pretty strong flavors, but they soften when they combine. I used regular capers, rinsed and drained before chopping. I couldn't find a proper celery heart, so I diagonally sliced the tender ribs at the center of the celery, too.
