Carmel Forest Spa Celery Salad

Celery Salad has been trending and I had to try it. This salad did not disappoint. The author of the recipe talks about this being a cross between a Caesar and a Waldorf Salad and I think that accurately describes it. The crunch of the celery along with the sweetness of the dates and the pecans make it a real treat. The dressing is also surprising but so good. The salad is best served immediately. I ate leftovers the next day and they were pretty good but I wouldn’t try beyond one day.
