Spring Celery Salad with Sesame Seeds and Apple
We offer another version of a light salad. For dressing, we used gourmet mayonnaise, but you can safely replace it with olive oil if you wish. It is better to add refined - it does not add a taste of bitterness. This sauce is also suitable: chopped (with a fork or spoon) low-fat cottage cheese in combination with sour cream and lemon juice. Such a dish can not only relieve the feeling of hunger, but also instantly cheer you up! Don't believe? And you try!

Put all the products in a salad bowl, add sesame seeds, a little black or white freshly ground pepper, a pinch of salt, and mayonnaise. Stir the resulting mixture well with a spoon and divide in portions into small bowls.

"Incredible Delight": Chicken and Celery Salad
Of course, vegetable salads are very useful, because they do not harm the figure, but after eating such a dish, a second feeling of hunger occurs within one to two hours. Therefore, if you want to feed your man with such a meal, add some meat product to him. We suggest introducing chicken - white meat is easily digestible and many people like it.
Ingredients:
- one fresh large cucumber
- 25 grams, peeled and crushed, walnuts (or other)
- celery stalks - put at your discretion
- four tablespoons of not very fat sour cream
- a pinch of sea salt
- 150 grams of raw champignons (you can use canned)
- freshly ground white or black pepper - optional
- 250 grams of fresh chicken
Cooking method:
Cut the celery stalks with a knife. If you use the root, then first peel it, and then grate it. Salt the water just starting to boil and boil the chicken fillet in it. When it has cooled, separate it with your hands into thin meat fibers.
Heat a frying pan, pour a small amount of olive oil into it and put the champignons cut into cubes here. Stirring constantly, fry them until golden brown (keep on heat for just a couple of minutes). Now peel the nuts, chop them, and cut the cucumbers into thin strips. Combine all the ingredients mentioned above in a deep bowl, salt and pepper to your taste. Fill the dish with sour cream and mix thoroughly.
There is no need to use boiled chicken. The fillet can be grated with one clove of garlic, sprinkled with fragrant Provence herbs and fried in a saucepan, some bake it in the oven. The golden color of the meat will give the salad a special chic. In addition, we recommend that lovers of mayonnaise make a sauce from this product - mix it with lemon juice and season the dish. And if you don’t have fresh champignons on hand, take canned ones (even homemade dried mushrooms will do). However, they should be pre-soaked in hot water for ten to fifteen minutes, and then fried in a pan.

Boil chicken breast and carrots in the same pot. You can do this in different dishes, but in this way the carrots will collect all the flavor of the broth, which makes the dish even tastier. Then cut the meat into medium pieces and fry in olive oil on all sides. The degree of readiness is easy to determine - the chicken will become soft golden and ruddy.
Boil hard-boiled eggs so that they cool faster, put them under ice water, then peel and cut into small cubes, and celery stalks into small pieces, chop the onion finely. As for carrots, it can be grated, or cut into strips.
To prepare the sauce, combine mayonnaise, light cream, ready-made Worcestershire sauce and curry in one bowl - mix well and pour over the salad. It is not necessary to salt it - thanks to the dressing, the dish comes out quite salty.

Such a magnificent salad with celery, pineapple and chicken can be prepared at least daily without harm to your figure. And, despite the fact that it is gentle and delicate, everyone likes it very much - both adults and children.
My husband, although a fan of spicy food, enjoys serving after serving of this salad when I prepare it for dinner. Such a salad is really very refined, judge for yourself - boiled chicken fillet goes well with juicy and sweet pineapples and spicy celery root.
This is a wonderful appetizer suitable for any occasion - both a family dinner and a banquet. Especially if the salad is presented beautifully and in an original way, then it will definitely become a decoration for yours.
For such an appetizer, you can, in principle, take other meat, such as smoked ham, but then the taste will be tougher, so I recommend just boiling the chicken. The same goes for pineapples, canned fruits can be replaced with fresh ones, although they will not be as sweet and juicy.
You can fill such a salad with any sauce, at your discretion - it can be mayonnaise, sour cream or plain yogurt.
If desired, finely chopped greens can be added to the salad.
The recipe is for 5 servings.

- salt and spices - to taste.
Step by step recipe with photo:
First of all, boil the chicken meat. This is perhaps the longest process and can be done in advance. We clean the fillet from films and fat, rinse with cold water, and then pour hot water and cook for half an hour. In order for the meat to be tastier, add spices and root vegetables to the broth if desired. Cool the meat in the broth and then cut it into cubes. 
Now we filter the pineapples from the juice and cut them into cubes, the same size as the meat. 
Then we peel the celery root. This is a simple procedure, but you need to be careful not to get hurt, as the skin is very tough. We wash and dry the celery root, and then chop it on a grater. By the way, it is very easy to prepare and, the recipe for which is also worth taking note of. 
Mix chopped meat with celery in a salad bowl and add pineapple cubes. We mix the salad with the sauce, to which we add a few tablespoons of pineapple juice - so the sauce will be more fragrant and the dish will be juicier.
