Celery Salad

The other night, Funk and I were too pooped to cook dinner, so we threw a frozen Kashi pizza in the oven. Has anyone had one of these? All of the frozen Kashi products I’ve had lately taste like the plastic wrap they come in! C’mon Kashi, you’re one of my favorite brands. And yes, I’ve already contacted customer service.

Anywho, I needed a side of veggies to have with the pizza, and didn’t have much to cook up. But I did have some cherry tomatoes and stalks of celery. I like both of these vegetables raw better than cooked, so I used them to create a simple salad:

1+ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

5-6 stalks celery, cut into bite sized pieces
1T olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

I also grated some fontina cheese on top. I bought this cheese specifically for a sandwich recipe I planned on making, which is rare, since I typically stick to soy cheese. But the fontina was a nice touch, though it’s not really a grate-able cheese since it’s soft like mozzarella. Parmesan (soy or regular) sprinkled on top would have been a nice touch, or no cheese at all!

I loved the soft tomatoes and crunchy celery all in one bite. It was a super summer salad.
