Sarasota'S Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups celery, diced (don't throw out those leaves)
2/3 cup baby peas, thawed (frozen works best)
2/3 cup dried cherries
2 scallions, diced (whites and greens)
6 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
3 tablespoons chopped pecans (I prefer to toast mine)
Dressing
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
3 teaspoons lemon juice
salt
pepper
Garnish
celery, leafs chopped fine

Preparation

Pecans -- In a small dry saute pan, add the pecans and bring to medium heat and toast for just a couple of minutes. Don't let them burn, they literally take, 1-2 minutes. Remove and set to the side.
Salad -- Just add all the ingredients in a medium size bowl and toss well to combine. Garnish with the chopped celery leaves.
Serve -- Just ENJOY! Try a simple roasted chicken and some hearty whole grain bread to along with this simple salad.
