Note
For best results, chill the salad for 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
To prevent the walnuts from becoming soggy, you can toast them lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the salad.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If storing, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The celery may soften over time.
For a lighter version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a light mayo alternative.
Some variations include adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or a dash of vinegar to the mayonnaise for extra tang.
