  1. Wash and trim the celery stalks, removing any discolored parts. Slice the celery on the diagonal into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. Incorporate slivered almonds and golden raisins into the celery mixture and stir lightly to mix.

  5. Pour the dressing over the celery mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are coated.
  6. Sprinkle the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
  7. Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or nuts.
