Crunchy, light and flavorful, Tomato & Celery Salad is joyful. Wedges of ripe tomato, chunks of crunchy celery and a few simple ingredients are all it takes. Be sure to have a crusty bread or crisp cracker on hand, the juices from the tomatoes and celery combine with the olive oil, vinegar, and spices to create a lovely liquor that encourages dipping.

  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1 1/2 Tbsps. extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsps. red wine or balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar

  • 1/2 tsp. oregano, dried
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Main Ingredient(s): Celery, Tomatoes

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl combine, oil, vinegar, sugar, water and oregano. Set aside.
