This salad really goes great with the grilled meats and seafoods and it is perfect option for the dinners, because it is fingerlickingly delicious and hearty. Even you can eat it as a light and hearty lunch dish. 

Its recipe is really very easy and not complicated. You just mix the ingredients into large bowl or salad plate and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil on top. That is it. Also, there is no cooking process for this recipe.   

Maybe, you ask that How to select celery and store it? We generally use its root part for cooking dish or preparing its salad, but its leaves are important too. When you go to market or bazaar for buying celery; choose it that looks crisp and snap easily when pulled apart. It should be relatively tight and compact and not have stalks that splay out. Its leaves should be pale to bright green incolor and free from yellow or brown patche. You can save it as raw in the vegetables part of refrigerator for a week. 

When you prepare this salad; the hardest part of coping with celery is peeling it! It looks such a hard work because of its root is very tough to crack but don't worry about it, actually with a sharp knife, it is a task soon done. Also, you have to be quick once it is peeled as it discolors. So, if you have your yogurt mixture ready in a bowl, all mixed and ready to go so you can quickly combine it with the grated celery, rest assured, this won’t happen.

Also, for this recipe; Instead of using regular yogurt, try strained yogurt (in Turkish, we call it: Süzme Yoğurt). This has a much thicker consistency so doesn’t lose so much liquid if this side dish (in Turkish, we call it: Meze) isn’t to be eaten immediately. Adding some grated (or crushed) garlic is a good idea for the extra flavour. And adding the grated sour apple, chopped dill and the roughly chopped walnuts make your salad amazing.
