Apple and Celery Salad with Peanuts

What a delightful surprise!!  Ben sent me a link about a week ago - it was a cute little article from epicurious.com about the "food horoscope" for the year.  It gave 12 recipes to try out for the 12 months of this year - healthy, yummy-looking recipes.  Last week, I tried a salad from the list; it was a bust for us.  So I was nervous about this salad.  But it was FANTASTIC!  And the lemon juice/olive oil dressing keeps the apples from browning, so you can have it a second night!!  I seriously could not get enough of this salad.

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1/3 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped
