Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups celery, diced (don't throw out those leaves)
  • 2/3 cup baby peas, thawed (frozen works best)
  • 2/3 cup dried cherries
  • 2 scallions, diced (whites and greens)
  • 6 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pecans (I prefer to toast mine)
  • Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Garnish
  • celery, leafs chopped fine

Method

  • Pecans -- In a small dry saute pan, add the pecans and bring to medium heat and toast for just a couple of minutes. Don't let them burn, they literally take, 1-2 minutes. Remove and set to the side.
  • Salad -- Just add all the ingredients in a medium size bowl and toss well to combine. Garnish with the chopped celery leaves.
  • Serve -- Just ENJOY! Try a simple roasted chicken and some hearty whole grain bread to along with this simple salad.
