This crunchy and refreshing celery salad with apples, cucumbers, and dill comes from chef Alex Guarnaschelli of the NYC restaurant Butter. I’m a big fan of her recipes and cookbooks (if you haven’t made her sheet-pan blackened salmon with garlicky kale, you’re seriously missing out!), so when she shared this easy recipe on her Instagram, I had to give it a try. Not only did I love it, but I also picked up a new trick—peeling celery! Guarnaschelli peels it like you would a carrot, which takes no time at all and completely gets rid of that fibrous, stringy texture. The result? Crunchy, crisp, yet delicate celery. Give it a try!
What You’ll Need To Make Green Apple and Celery Salad with Dill
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by peeling the celery. Simply use a vegetable peeler to lightly peel off the outer layer from the rounded side of the celery ribs.
Dice the celery, cucumber, and apple; zest and juice the lemon; and chop the dill.
Next, in a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
Toss until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve the salad cold.

So delicious!! I left out the cucumber and used ACV instead of lemon juice and zest. Absolutely delicious!!
My husband and I found the combination to be just too different. He requested that I lose this recipe.
