Leftover Celery Salad
Description
Leftover Celery Salad combines crisp celery ribs sliced diagonally with chopped fresh dill and parsley, caraway seeds, and a dressing of white wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. The celery's crunch softens after resting with the dressing for about 10 minutes, absorbing tangy and herbal notes from the vinegar and herbs.
Caraway seeds lend an earthy, slightly licorice flavor that pairs well with the dill and parsley. The salad can be refrigerated for up to three days, during which time the celery develops a more pickled, tender texture, deepening the flavor profile.
This dish is a refreshing side salad that utilizes leftover celery creatively. Herb variations can change its character, shifting toward Middle Eastern or Indian flavors when using different spices like mustard, coriander, or cumin seeds.
Ingredients
- 5 celery ribs
- 3 tbsp dill , finely chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley , finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp caraway seeds
- 2 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar , red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the leaves from the celery and trim off the dirty base. Finely slice on the diagonal into 4mm / 1/6" slices.
- Toss in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 10 minutes before serving.
- Keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge - the celery softens and becomes even more pickle like.
Notes
- Try substituting herbs or spices such as mustard seeds or toasted cumin for a varied flavor profile.
- Allow the salad to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to soften the celery and blend flavors.
- The salad keeps in the fridge for up to three days, during which it becomes more pickle-like in texture and taste.
