Sarasota's Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad image

This is just a nice twist on a celery salad. I would love to say this is my recipe, but I can't. This is from a small Bed and Breakfast in North Carolina. The Owner / Chef was nice enough to share her recipe with me, and had many other recipes that looked wonderful, but this is the only one I asked for. Unfortunately, the Bed and Breakfast is no longer there and the owner can't be contacted. She was a fantastic cook. The cherries with the combination of the pecans and the creamy dressing, just make it a perfect combination. I love to serve this with a honey roasted chicken, just something light and simple. Enjoy it!

Time 15m

Yield 4 Salad Servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
3 teaspoons lemon juice
salt
pepper
celery, leafs chopped fine

Steps:

  • 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.
