I (Amelia) just can’t get over this salad. Despite everything I thought I knew about celery and its tastelessness, this salad is packed with flavor. I could eat bowls of this and nothing else and be happy.

Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolates and cinnamon rolls and cake and caramel and dairy and toffee and cookies and fudge and more cake and more chocolate and biscoff butter and oh my goodness I almost exploded from all of the food. Point being, do you need a break from decadence too? Great. We’ve got the recipe for you.
