Apple-Celery Salad with Pomegranate and Pecans

This salad was inspired from one I saw on simplebites.net.  She used fennel instead of celery.  I would have loved to try that, but celery was what I had.  So feel free to try either.  And, if you've not tried Pomegranates... you are so missing out!  Many people won't try them because they don't know what to do with them, or how to eat them...that was me.  But, I have seen the light!  I can tell you step by step how to cut a pomegranate, but why should I when you can find it here?  
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
2 med. apples
 2-3 stalks celery
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
2-3 Tablespoons Clementine Vinigrette
salt & and pepper to taste


1.  Wash celery
2.  Chop apple
3.  In a medium bowl, combine celery, apple, pecans and pomegranates and toss to combine.
4.  Drizzle with clementine vinigrette, season lightly with salt and pepper and mix well. Serve at once.

  3. I've never had fennel... does it taste like celery? I'm not a celery fan so I'm hoping it's just to give the crunch. :) Otherwise this looks really yummy!
