When I first tried this Celery Salad with Tahini at a friend's gathering, I was instantly captivated by the refreshing crunch of the celery. I never realized how a simple salad could pack such a punch of flavor. After experimenting with different dressings, I discovered that tahini combined with lemon creates a creamy, zesty flavor that beautifully complements the crunch of the celery.

One piece of advice I found helpful is to slice the celery diagonally as it enhances the texture and presentation. I often add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for an extra crunch. This salad has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, perfect for summer or whenever I need a quick, healthy dish!
