What are the Best Apples to Use in an Apple & Celery Salad?

For this recipe we used Pink Lady apples. If they are unavailable in your area, consider using Fuji, Jazz, or Honeycrisp apples instead as they offer a nice crunch and will not brown too quickly.

Apple Salad Tip: The flavors in this recipe will intensify with time, so you may want to prepare a double (or triple) batch. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. However, be sure to toss the chopped apple with some fresh lemon juice before adding to the salad to minimize browning.

Try To Purchase Organic if Possible

For this salad, try to purchase organic produce that has not been sprayed with any chemicals. Organic apples and celery are typically available in the “organic” section of your grocery store. Some fruits and vegetables are better for you when purchased as organic.

How to Store Your Salad

You can keep this salad fresh for about 2-3 days stored in an airtight container kept in the refrigerator.
