I originally made this celery, apple and fennel salad to go along with some ribs my dad was making. (You can go check out the recipe here.) I figured the bright crunchy veg with the sharp acidic dressing would go well with the fatty ribs. And spoiler alert, it did.
This is a great salad to make with any fatty rich piece of meat or anything fried. So, a great option for grilled meat this summer. Or, if you’re in a no-cook kinda mood, open a can of smoked, tinned fish, or sardines, a piece of toasted bread and your meal is done.

It goes great with ribs, just saying.
