For far too long, celery was nothing more than a dipping vegetable in my eyes. Something that I enjoyed at many a cocktail reception. Gently fried, however, it is delicious in a salad. Combined with shiitake mushrooms and a light, refreshing sesame dressing, it makes for a knockout dish. This is a quick and easy vegan recipe for a relaxed spring evening.
