Celery must first be cut in length into 2 halves, and then chop in half rings, you can even slightly knead the vegetable by hand.
Greens need to be cut not very finely. Parsley can be replaced with mint, celery leaves or basil.
In a deep bowl, you need to mix vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and salt, crushed ginger and all other spices. Then pour in any oil: olive, vegetable or sunflower. It is desirable that it be odorless. Vinegar can be replaced with a little more lemon juice.
