    Sesame Celery Salad is a Simple Side Dish

    October 7, 2014 Filed Under: Vegetable Salads, Vegetable Stove, Vegetables

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Celery Sesame Salad is a simple and refreshing salad for a hot day. Great side dish for barbecues and Chinese food.

    Cool, crunchy and loaded with Asian flavors this Sesame Celery Salad makes a great side dish for cookouts and barbecues as well as Asian meals.

    When I noticed an almost full head of celery in the fridge my mind immediately went to this recipe for Sesame Celery Salad.

    Mom used to make it when we were kids both in the "too hot to cook" summer time and as a great side dish, particularly with Asian cuisine.

    It takes very little time and effort to make, but just note that it should sit for about an hour to let all of the flavors meld together. Super simple and delicious.

    Ingredients for Sesame Celery Salad

    There are only 6 simple ingredients in this salad.

    celery - good old stalk celery

    soy sauce - I use tamari low sodium soy sauce

    brown sugar - you could omit it or use a substitute, but the hint of sweetness balances the other flavors.

    sesame oil - find it in the Asian food aisle of most grocery stores.

    garlic - fresh garlic cloves are best

    sesame seeds - these are mostly for decoration, the real sesame flavor comes from the oil. Use white or black sesame seeds.

      Your salad sounds so good! I make a very similar salad with cabbage, but I never thought to use celery. I'll have to try this. Thanks for the recipe and for the link-up.
