(Family Features) The warmer months mean one thing: salad season is officially here. With fresh flavors abounding, now is the perfect opportunity to tap into an unexpected veggie: celery.
Celery is packed with flavor and low in calories, making it a smart choice for snacking and cooking a variety of meals throughout the day. Made up of 95% water, it’s also naturally hydrating and high in fiber to keep you feeling full and refreshed.
This Fresh Salad with Grilled Strawberries and Celery, Berries and Burrata, for example, combines celery with other fresh, warm-weather favorites like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries on a bed of arugula—topped with a sweet, citrusy dressing—for a refreshing, nourishing lunch or dinner.
