An unusual and very beautiful dish is a fruit salad with celery and cheese. It has a pleasant sweetish taste, which is emphasized by the salty notes of roquefort and the characteristic spicy aroma of celery.
Cut 185 g Roquefort cheese into cubes. Fry 90 g of walnuts in a dry frying pan, cool and chop coarsely with a knife. Peel 3 celery stalks of tough fibers and cut into small pieces. Wash and dry 1 kiwi, 90 g seedless light raisins, 90 g red grapes, 100 g strawberries. Cut the kiwi into thin semicircles, divide the grapes and strawberries into halves. Place all ingredients in a large salad bowl.
Instead of strawberries and grapes, you can use a mixture of red currants and raspberries.
In a separate container, whisk 150 ml of low-fat sour cream, 0.5 teaspoons of Worcester sauce, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir the sauce thoroughly, pour the prepared food with it and shake the salad bowl well so that all the ingredients are saturated with the filling.
Celery goes well with any fruit, but it is especially good in a duet with apples. Choose sweet and juicy fruits and complement the composition with avocado pulp, cheese and mint.

Place apples and avocados in a large bowl, add 60 g seedless raisins, 100 g chester cheese, 150 g sweet corn.
Mix 100 g of natural yogurt with 2 tbsp. tablespoons of apple juice, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of chopped mint greens. Pour the sauce over the salad and stir. Serve heaped on lettuce leaves.
