Hotel Citadel’s Celery Salad
Hotel Citadel’s Celery SaladÂ
Seriously addictive and I totally understand why my friend @margalitlankrydesigns was obsessed with it on her last trip to Jerusalem.Â
She just kept on sending me video after video until I had to recreate it myself!Â
It’s just celery with a ton of fresh herbs, crunchy nuts and seeds (any can work) and a little hint of sweetness in every bite with some dried blueberries (they used craisins – but OMG the berries are next level)Â
The real winner though is that full blown LEMON dressing. You must have a lot of fresh lemon juice – I took the 2 biggest lemons I could find – it’s key, combined with that touch of honey.Â
The best salad my family could not get enough of it and it’s on repeat here in my house – I’ve been making it daily!
You can also add some fennel in the mix with the celery for even more crunchy veggie goodness and a twist.Â

2 bunches of celery, chopped

Handful toasted sunflower seeds
Handful chopped pistachios

For the dressing:

Instructions
Throw everything into a bowl, whisk together the dressing and pour over the salad and mix.Â

Super tastey and delicious few days after being made.
I just made the Celery Salad tonight and just loved it. My husband liked it, too. It was very light and tasty! I think it will hold very well for several days.
I made this today. It’s so fresh and good. Wondering if I should add the dressing to the whole thing and let it marinade over night. Yummmmm
Soo soo happy to hear was enjoyed! Thanks
Best salad I’ve had in a long time, maybe ever! I used green onions instead of shallots and fresh blueberries, just because that’s what I had on hand. So flavorful!!
