Lenten potato salad with celery and apple can be a very tasty and healthy dish, especially if you season it with fresh greens, seeds and olive oil. This salad is suitable for vegetarians, the vegans menu is close in style to the lean menu, but lacto, ovo and lacto-ovo vegetarianism is not suitable for strictly fasting, as it allows dairy products and eggs.
Orthodox believers have come up with many recipes from vegetables that support the forces of those who fast during Great Lent. Soups, pies, pancakes, and, of course, vegetable salads that can be cooked quickly, if you have a stock of convenience foods. In the post, I always keep the saucepan with boiled potatoes, beetroot and carrots ready to instantly build a vinaigrette or salad when a hungry family requires nourishment.
Lenten dishes should be abundantly seasoned with different seeds, nuts, good vegetable or olive oil, fresh herbs, as the body needs proper and balanced nutrition at any time of the year. Be sure to include lean potato salad with celery and apples in your lenten menu.

A method of cooking lean potato salad with celery and an apple
Boiled in a uniform and completely cooled potatoes are cut into large cubes. Salad can be cooked with warm potatoes, it will also be tasty, but you should eat this salad immediately, because other vegetables will be softened in a “warm atmosphere”.
In a separate bowl, we put onion, leek and sour green apple cut into thin strips into very thin rings. Season the vegetables with a pinch of sea salt and pour over freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then we mix thoroughly so that the juice covers the apples and they do not darken.
Celery stalks are cut into small cubes, you can replace the celery stalk in the recipe with the root, but then the root should be boiled together with the potatoes and cut into cubes.
We mix all the chopped vegetables in a deep salad bowl, add freshly ground black pepper and olive oil of the first cold press. To enhance the beneficial effect of the salad, I advise you to add 1-2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil.
In a dry pan, fry the peeled sunflower seeds until golden brown, add to the rest of the ingredients, season them with a pinch of sea salt during roasting, the roasted seeds will turn out more delicious. Cut into thin strips a small part of the green leaf of a leek, sprinkle the salad.
We put potato salad on green leaves of fresh salad, and let someone try to say that lean and vegetarian food is tasteless or fresh, this simple salad refutes all attacks and makes them in vain.
Lenten potato salad with celery and apple is ready. Enjoy your meal!
