Instructions:

1. Prepare the Celery:
- Wash the celery stalks thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Trim the ends of the celery and discard them.

2. Mix the Salad:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the apple pieces and celery pieces.
- Add the tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing to the bowl.
3. Toss the Salad:
- Gently toss the apple and celery with the mayonnaise dressing until all pieces are evenly coated. Ensure the dressing is well-distributed for a consistent flavor in every bite.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
- For a bit of garnish, you could optionally sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs (like parsley) or a few nuts (like walnuts) on top for extra flavor and crunch.
5. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. This salad makes a great refreshing side dish or a light snack.

Tips:

- For extra flavor: Consider adding a handful of raisins or walnuts to the salad.

- For a tangy twist: Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with the mayonnaise before adding it to the salad.

- For freshness: Make sure to use fresh, crisp apples and celery to enhance the texture and flavor of the salad.
