Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups celery, chopped Make sure to wash the celery beforehand.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped Soaking in cold water can temper the flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and thoroughly chopping your celery into bite-sized pieces, aiming for a 1/2-inch size for that perfect crunch.
  2. Finely chop your onion, considering soaking it in cold water for a few minutes if you want to temper the flavor.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add the chopped celery and onion to the bowl with the dressing. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are coated evenly.
  5. Sprinkle in some salt and black pepper according to your preference, mixing well one last time.
  6. Transfer your delightful salad to a serving bowl and enjoy it immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for a bit to allow the flavors to mingle.

Notes

You can substitute plain yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter alternative or use a vegan mayo for a plant-based option. Allow the salad to sit for about 20-30 minutes before serving if making it in advance to help the flavors blend beautifully. Avoid chopping the celery too small to maintain the lovely crunch, and be careful not to overdress the salad.
