Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green apple
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the celery stalks. Trim the ends and slice them diagonally into thin pieces about 1/4-inch wide.
Peel the carrot and using a julienne peeler or a grater, cut it into long, thin strips.
Deseed the red bell pepper and cut it into thin strips.
Core the green apple and slice it thinly. To prevent browning, quickly toss the apple slices in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced celery, julienned carrot, red bell pepper strips, and apple slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are well-coated.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad along with the sliced almonds for added crunch.
Give the salad a final toss and serve immediately for best texture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, though it's best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
