A refreshing and crunchy salad combining apples and celery with a tangy dressing.
Dice the apples into bite-sized pieces and toss them with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Using tart apples adds a nice contrast to the dressing's sweetness.
Slice the celery ribs thinly and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Ensure the celery is fresh and crisp for the best texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, tarragon, and salt until smooth.
Adjust the seasoning of the dressing to your taste before combining with the salad.
Pour the dressing over the apple and celery mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss the salad just before serving to maintain its crunch.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
