Rosie Makes A Celery Salad.

Here's a side dish for you I think you'll like.

It's celery salad and it's good!

It's different and quite tasty.

 And it all comes together in a flash.

You've got sweet, sour,  heat, crunch, bitter, and salty

all in one bite.

 If you can, get fresh Medjool dates.

They're the best!
