Preparation
- Trim celery ribs to remove leaves (reserving the trimmings for stock), and peel ribs with vegetable peeler if outer surface is tough or fibrous. Wash and cut the ribs into 2-inch pieces. Then press the pieces flat on the table and cut them lengthwise into thin strips. You should have about 2 1/2 cups. Place in a bowl.
- Since the apples are not peeled, wash them thoroughly in warm water, scraping lightly with a knife if necessary to remove any surface wax. Stand apples up and cut them lengthwise on all sides into slices 1/2-inch thick until you reach core. Discard it, pile apple slices together and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Add pieces to celery along with the all ingredients except lettuce leaves and mix well.
- To serve, arrange lettuce leaves on six individual plates and spoon the salad onto the leaves.
