What goes with Celery Leaves?
Celery leaves combine a recognisable savoury celery aroma with grassy bitterness and a tender leaf texture. Pale inner leaves are generally gentler than mature dark outer leaves, so a mixed bunch can vary substantially in strength. Thick stalk sections are excluded here: the leaves contribute fragrance and a slight bitter edge rather than the stalk's juicy crunch.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Celery Leaves?
Balance assertive leaves with creamy beans, eggs, potatoes or oily fish, and use citrus to keep a rich dressing lively. Walnut and apple offer familiar contrasts of fat, sweetness and crunch. For a leaf-led preparation, remove tough stems and control the quantity carefully; substituting a mound of leaves for a few stalk pieces changes both intensity and texture.
