Celery and Peanut Salad



To accompany my Carrot-Sweet Potato Soup with Bacon and use up that other perennial vegetable--the celery--I concocted this simple salad inspired by the classic snack of celery sticks with peanut butter.

Celery and Peanut Salad

2 cups of celery (about 4 stalks), sliced at an angle into 1/8-inch thick pieces
6-8 mint leaves, roughly torn
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp. honey
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup chopped unsalted peanuts

Combine celery and mint in a medium bowl. Whisk together oil, vinegar, honey and salt. Pour over celery and toss to combine. Top with chopped peanuts.

  1. Deconstructed celery and peanut butter! Brilliant. The only thing missing: raisins.
