This made a refreshing, crunchy salad. I followed the recommendation of KateL and reduced the dressing by half, that was just the right amount. I omitted the garlic and parmesan and added some fresh chopped parsley.

3 Stars, crunchy, DH liked the simple salad dressing, although we had 2 tablespoons too much for this amount of celery. I recommend whisking the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together before adding to celery, and then topping with grated parmesan cheese. Served as a side to Recipe #292513 #292513. The addition of baby carrots and/or red bell pepper would jazz this up, but still be simple. Made for Healthy Choices ABC 2008.
