The thing I’ve always hated about celery is that you generally only add a stalk or two to whatever you are cooking, and then the rest sits in the fridge and tends to go bad.
Determined not to waste an entire bunch of celery this time, I came up with this salad. Pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself.
(Makes 4-5 cups)
Ingredients
1 grapefruit
9 stalks celery
1 tsp. agave
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1 – Chop your celery and grapefruit and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2 – add walnuts and agave.
Step 3 – Add yogurt and lemon juice and toss well.
If this is a main meal and you need more protein, vegetarians can add edamame beans, and meat eaters can add chopped, baked chicken.

Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Little ones can add chopped ingredients to the mixing bowl. Older helpers with more dexterity can toss and serve.
Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).
