20 minutes
This exquisite salad of celery roots with walnuts and apples is a true reflection of the sophistication of Italian cuisine. Celery adds a refreshing crunch to the dish, apples provide a light sweetness, and the nuts add a pleasant depth of flavor with a delicate buttery texture. The dressing made from mustard, vinegar, and vegetable oil harmoniously brings all the ingredients together, creating a vibrant balance of flavors. This salad is perfect as a light appetizer or side dish to main courses. Historically, celery was valued for its health benefits since ancient times, and its combination with apples and nuts became popular due to the search for simple yet refined flavor solutions in Mediterranean gastronomy. The dish refreshes wonderfully in summer heat and adds a touch of elegance to any table.
