Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup Dried currants
1 large Head celery
2 Golden Delicious apples
6 Pale green celery leaves
4 Parsley sprigs
10 Walnuts -- cracked
in large pieces
2 tablespoons Walnut oil
Lemon juice -- =OR=- Champagne vine
Salt
Freshly ground pepper

IF THE CURRANTS ARE HARD, cover them with warm water and set them aside
to soften while you cut the celery and apples. When they're soft, after
10 minutes or so, drain them and squeeze out the water. Separate the
stalks of celery and peel the tougher outer stalks. Slice the celery
into thin pieces, straight across or at an angle. Cut the apples into
quarters or sixths if they're large and thinly slice them crosswise.
Finely chop the celery leaves and the parsley and crack the nuts.
Combine the celery, apples, currants, celery leaves, parsley and
walnuts in a bowl. Toss them with just enough walnut oil to coat
everything lightly. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to taste, salt
lightly, season with pepper and toss again.
