Yesterday I wanted to be really productive. Instead I spent way too long organizing pictures from our recent trip to Mexico and making this yummy celery salad. It’s simple and refreshing and perfect for the remaining weeks of summer. The apple, celery, hearts of palm, and corn make a great combo and only need a bit of lime juice for dressing. Make sure to add the celery leaves to the salad and feel free to throw in any other herbs. Next time I will be adding some fresh fennel and fennel fronds and perhaps some sliced almonds.
