The prep work for it couldn’t be easier. The only thing to cut is the onions, which are easily chopped with a 7-5/8" Petite Chef knife.
Toss the onions and everything else together into a blender or food processor to emulsify, and done! What could be easier than that?
Serve this Best Celery Seed Dressing Ever over a green salad, as we recommend in the recipe below, or use it as the dressing for a coleslaw. It would also be delicious as a dip for a crudité platter of celery sticks, carrot sticks, broccoli and cauliflower florets, and sliced cucumbers. However you serve it, be ready to share the recipe.
When preparing all the vegetables to accompany the dressing, check out Cutco’s Knife Skills section.
