sour cream

mayonnaise (or homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise)

dijon mustard

Heat chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and begin to smell toasted. Stir frequently to prevent the nuts from burning.

In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Add celery, dried cranberries, and toasted chopped pecans.

Toss the salad and dressing together until everything is well coated and combined.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours. Lightly toss prior to serving.OPTIONAL: Top the salad with more dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and black pepper for presentation.

I added some grated apple and dried cherries to the salad. It was wonderful.

This salad was the BEST!!! My husband had to recently switch to a renal/kidney friendly “diet” and ALL the ingredients were kidney friendly. I will make this again!! The only thing I did was substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream and it tasted wonderful.

Just made this! Wow it is delicious! And great for those trying to increase veggies and decrease pasta!!

Elizabeth, this turned out wonderful!!! I did add 1tbsp of chopped pickled red onions. I only did half of the red wine vinegar because of the pickled onions. I didn't have cranberries so used cherries. I didn't have pecans so used pistachios and sunflower seeds. Otherwise I tried to stuck to recipe.  I love the flavor and crispy celery.  Thanks for sharing!!

Love this as is.  I also tried it with adding  a chopped green onion, chopped jalapeño, chopped fresh cranberries, and garlic pepper…very tasty!

I’ve made this salad twice and both times for myself and a good friend. She and her hubby requested it again, because they love it. Your version is savory, which I enjoy. The second time I added diced onion, a few more Craisins and nuts, and a little bit of sweetener. Celery Salad has the crunchy texture I love with the pop of sweetness from the Craisins. It will be part of my regular recipes and I think it will be a hit at the next potluck, too!

I loved this salad for the crunch, creaminess, and savory with a touch of sweetness. I eat keto/carnivore, so this worked perfectly as a keto salad. One serving doesn’t have enough dried cranberries to throw me off plan and it gives me the crunch that I crave. It was a bit watery the next day as mentioned, so I drained off the liquid and added a bit more mayo and sour cream. It’s so quick and easy to make and next time I might add a bit of a sugar-free alternative for a sweeter taste. This a great recipe for a potluck, too!

My husband ,who hates celery, loved this !! I was shocked!  He thought it was delicious and wants me to make it again. It made him think of apple salad, which he loves. So thanks for a great recipe I will make again❤️

This is delicious,  I just bought in the salad dressing section a 3oz bag of dried cranberries mixed with honey roasted chopped pecans, cheaper and easier! Flavors and cruch is delicious,  will make again! Oh and cut celery on a diagonal, good tip
