Ready in: 20 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 1/4 pounds celery, diced finely
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
• 1 potato, boiled and mashed

• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste

• 3 tablespoons water

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins

1. Combine celery and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, using either a hand whisk (if you feel like a workout) or an electric hand mixer, pour the oil and vinegar very slowly into the mashed potato while mixing. Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste, then beat in the mustard. Add water until dressing is gravy consistency.
3. Pour dressing over the celery and eggs, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then serve.
