Sof's Celery Salad

Recipe By : Sofie Schmidt Burrowes Murray
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Salads Holiday

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 bn Celery
1 bn Parsley, small
1/2 ea Onion, medium
1 c Mayonnaise
3 tb Vinegar
1 x Salt

Cut celery in short lengths and then mince all vegetables finely in
food
processor or chopping bowl. Just before serving, dress with
mayonnaise
thinned with a little vinegar to taste, and salt to taste. Any
leftovers
will get watery after standing awhile, but can be drained and combined
with fresh dressing.

Stan's Grandmother Sofie came from a San Francisco German delicatessen
family, and she always made this salad for Thanksgiving and sometimes
at
Christmas. Simplicity itself, it makes a refreshing counterpoint to
all
of the rich dishes at a Holiday meal. Of course Grandma Sofie always
chopped the veggies painstakingly with her much-used chopping bowl and
special knife, and scorned the food processor as one of those "modern
things that mooshes everything all up"! Of course there is no
discernable
difference in the salad made with the food processor, but we were all
tactfully careful not to point that out....... <G>

Excellent!
