Celery salad is a gloriously simple salad recipe that’s got all the elements we love. Crunchy celery, sweet bites of raisins, and a scattering of walnuts, all wrapped up in a creamy dressing. It’s delicious!
This celery salad recipe is loosely based on our popular creamy cucumber salad . We love the crunchy creamy combo, and it works just as well with celery.
Added to the mix are a handful of raisins (cranberries or chopped dates would be nice, too). As celery tends to be a bit bitter, the sweetness complements it—a few walnuts and some minced red onion round out the salad.
If you’re like us, you’ll always find a head of celery in your fridge. So many recipes call for a stalk of celery, and then you’re left wondering what to do with all the rest.
This celery salad is your answer. Since the flavors go well with so many main dishes, it makes pulling together a quick dinner a breeze.
Celery salad variations
- Diced apple – make it an apple celery salad.
- Chopped dates – instead of the raisins.
- Festive – add cranberries.
- Switch up the nuts – pecans and walnuts are great.
