Thin slices of tender celery with the young inner leaves add a lovely nutty flavour to the salad and pair beautifully with the eggs and mustardy dressing.

2 tender inner stalks celery, sliced very thinly
3 eggs, hardboiled and peeled
Dressing
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons white balsamic or tarragon vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
