Today I have a somewhat unusual salad recipe: strawberry and celery salad!
I love strawberries very much and therefore like to use them in portions in a green salad or spinach salad.
However, I recently heard about the combination of Strawberries with celery read.
My taste buds couldn’t imagine it right away, so I went into field testing and tried it out.
The result was so delicious that I absolutely had to show it: the crunchy celery and the sweetness of the strawberries harmonized so fantastically. The interaction also works as a “connecting link” precisely because of the herbs added!
I simply spooned the salad away on its own, but a bowl like this would also be great as a side dish to the grill, with a fresh baguette or even for brunch. And let’s be honest: This isn’t the thirtieth lame salad, but something really different!
Have fun crafting!
And because I’m always happy about a breath of fresh air in my kitchen: Which crazy combination should I try out? Feel free to write it to me in the comments!
I place my salad bowl (virtually) next to Zorra and Tanja’s grill grate, who are collecting culinary delicacies in a joint blog event “Everything about the grate”.
Strawberry and celery salad with rosemary and thyme
Ingredients for one bowl:
5 stalks of fresh celery
250 g fresh, ripe strawberries
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
Pepper from the mill
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
Preparation:
First wash and clean the celery stalks. Make sure to remove the threads that (can) sit lengthways in the rods and then cut the rods into small pieces. Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them into cubes that are not too small.
Mix the remaining ingredients into a dressing. Place the celery and strawberries in a bowl and pour over the dressing.
Bon appetit!
