YW, I was pleasantly surprised myself when I saw Ina making it. I just
didn't really think of celery as a stand alone salad, and one thing I do
like about it is that celery does stay crisp for a few days so not a huge
hurry to use it. I wash and clean the celery then stand it upright in a
container in the fridge, but it stays nice in the crisper too, of just on
the shelf for that matter.
