Sarasota'S Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad

• 1 1/2 cups celery, diced (don't throw out those leaves)
• 2/3 cup baby peas, thawed (frozen works best)
• 2/3 cup dried cherries
• 2 scallions, diced (whites and greens)
• 6 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped pecans (I prefer to toast mine)
• Dressing
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 3 teaspoons lemon juice
• salt
• pepper
• Garnish
• celery, leafs chopped fine

1. Pecans -- In a small dry saute pan, add the pecans and bring to medium heat and toast for just a couple of minutes. Don't let them burn, they literally take, 1-2 minutes. Remove and set to the side.
2. Salad -- Just add all the ingredients in a medium size bowl and toss well to combine. Garnish with the chopped celery leaves.
3. Serve -- Just ENJOY! Try a simple roasted chicken and some hearty whole grain bread to along with this simple salad.
