Recipe details: Celery-Apple with Currants

Ingredients
1/2	cup	currants, dried
1	each	celery, head
2	each	apples, golden delicious
6	each	celery, leaves, pale green
4	each	parsley, sprigs
10	each	walnuts, cracked, left in large pieces
2	tablespoon	walnut oil
1		lemon, juice OR champagne vinegar
1		salt
1		pepper, freshly ground
Directions:
If the currants are hard, cover them with warm water and set them aside to soften while you cut the celery and apples. When they're soft, after 10 minutes or so, drain them and squeeze out the water. Separate the stalks of celery and peel the tougher outer stalks. Slice the celery into thin pieces, straight across or at an angle. Cut the apples into quarters or sixths if they're large and thinly slice them crosswise. Finely chop the celery leaves and the parsley and crack the nuts. Combine the celery, apples, currants, celery leaves, parsley and walnuts in a bowl. Toss them with just enough walnut oil to coat everything lightly. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to taste, salt lightly, season with pepper and toss again.
