  • Chop the celery and almonds finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use just enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together: You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings until the salad is flavorful.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or in a croissant: This will add extra texture and flavor.
