Celery is an amazing plant that can give a special, sophisticated taste to many dishes. Celery must be present in the diet of every person who cares about their health. Celery helps remove toxins and cleanse the body of toxins. Until the seventeenth century, it was not used as food, but served as a medicinal plant. Doctors strongly recommend eating celery dishes to people with ailments of the bladder and gastrointestinal tract. Celery leaves increase resistance to infectious disease and have a positive effect on immunity.
Celery is the owner of not only many useful properties, but also an unusual taste. Have you tried a salad with petiole celery? It's time to fix it! A few simple recipes will make you fall in love with this unusual Russian vegetable culture.
To make a salad with petiole celery, take celery root, mustard, mayonnaise and sour cream. Peel the root and cut into strips. From two teaspoons of mustard, five tablespoons of mayonnaise and three tablespoons of sour cream, you get a delicious salad dressing.
Sweet salad with petiole celery has a completely different taste. Cut the celery in the form of straws, grate the carrots on a coarse grater and add cranberries to taste. A little sugar and vegetable oil - and the salad is ready!
A popular vegetable salad with celery also does not have a unique recipe. This is wonderful - every hostess has the opportunity to create, the opportunity to try, compare and choose the best. Usually carrots and apples are added to celery, chopped or passed through a coarse grater.

Green celery salad with dill and cucumbers is beautiful in appearance and unusual in taste. A popular summer salad recipe is the following: grate celery, radishes, cut tomato and cucumber into small cubes, add watercress, dill, parsley and other all kinds of greens.

A combination of products that seem completely incompatible can give a surprisingly pleasant result. Salad with celery and pineapple has an incomparable sweet taste. For the preparation of this salad, it is better to take fresh pineapple, if possible, but in the winter it is quite possible to use canned. In the “winter” version, you do not need to add icing sugar: canned pineapples in jars are already sweet, otherwise the salad risks turning into a dessert. You can fill the dish with olive or sesame oil to taste.
