SALAD WITH CHICORY AND CELERY

2021-01-15 17:20:28

As a first culinary proposal in the New Year I prepared a delicious salad. There are many reasons for that: a New Year's resolution that there will be more salads on the blog - so far there are only two, and now three :-). My detox consisted of consuming only raw vegetables and fruits for three days, after which I felt great and it motivated me to eat more raw food. Besides I've been thinking about preparing a dish with celery for a long time, because of its beautiful, light green colour, which brings spring to my kitchen. Add fresh marjoram to the salad if you can, it fits here perfectly. If you don't have marjoram, add your favourite fresh herbs or parsley. However, I would recommend adding marjoram, which is really the main character here, even though it may not seem to be one at first glance.

ingredients

for 2 people

2 chicories
a few sticks of celery
1-2 apples
1 small white onion
fresh marjoram (or other fresh herbs)
a handful of raisins
1/2 lemon
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt
herbal pepper

recipe

Wash the chicories, remove the bitter stalk and cut them into thin strips. Peel the onion, wash it and cut into crescents. Wash the celery sticks and cut them into thin slices. Wash the apples, cut them in half, remove the core and then cut them into thin slices. Don't peel the apples if they are organic. Rinse the raisins in a sieve. Put the chopped chicories, celery, and the onion in a bowl, stir thoroughly and put on two plates. Place apple slices on each plate. Season the salad with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with raisins and marjoram leaves. At the end, pour olive oil and lemon juice over the salad.
