So, I whipped up this salad the other day, and I AM OBSESSED... but lost on the name! Is it a celery salad? A radish salad? Maybe a "celery-radish mashup" or a "crunchy apple surprise"? Jury's still out.
It's pretty much equal delicious parts celery and radish, with some sweet apple chunks added for a delightful sweet pop. No matter what you call it, this combo is out-of-this-world delicious. Seriously, crazy-crunch good. Like TRIPLE-CRUNCH DREAM SALAD good.
For now, let's just call it a Celery Salad.
Basically, it's early summer/early fall in a bowl - fresh, crunchy, juicy, and ready in a flash. You could make it year-round, but June to October is when the celery and radishes are at their peak freshness (at least in Germany, where I live).
"Apples, radishes, and celery? Isn't that a little…weird?" you might think. But trust me on this one—it works like a charm! Some serious, crispy, YUM-tastic goodness awaits.
Okay, here's the thing: Swap the radishes for walnuts (or another nutty buddy!), and you've got a classic celery apple salad. Totally a keeper, no shade on that. But those zingy radishes? Yep, they're the secret superstar that makes this salad truly unique. Maybe the "Radish with Celery and Apple Salad" title has some merit after all…

What I'm saying is GIVE THIS A TRY. You might just find your new favorite summer side dish!
