Notes

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 1 to 2 days for optimal freshness. The flavors may deepen as it sits, but the celery should still remain crisp. For a spicier kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the dressing. Fresh herbs like basil or mint can provide an interesting twist to the flavor profile.
