Parmesan Celery Salad

by

This is a simple recipe that makes a great side dish for dinner! The combination of celery and pecans might seem odd but they are perfectly combined in this dish. The pecans and nuts in general are full of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and the American Heart Association recommends nuts as part of a healthy dietary pattern.
