Orange Celery Salad with Almonds

Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 People

Ingredients

  • 3 oranges, peeled, cut into bite-sized pieces about 1 ½ cups
  • 2 cups thinly sliced celery about 6 stalks
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 avocado, chopped optional
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • ¼ cup toasted almonds chopped
  • I like a mix of cara cara and navel, but you could use any orange. If you don’t like oranges, try this with another winter fruit like kiwi or pear.
  • Substitute with fennel or cabbage if you don’t like celery.
  • Note: to turn this into a larger green salad, toss in a couple of cups of arugula. Make it even heartier by mixing in a cup of cooked farro and some cooked beans or lentils. As always, taste and add more vinegar or salt if you add more stuff into it!

Items you can prep ahead (optional)

  • Thinly slice 2 cups celery
  • Peel and chop 3 oranges (1 ½ cups)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the oranges, celery, vinegar, and salt and gently toss to coat. If using avocado, add it to the bowl and gently toss once more.
