Celery leaves are rich in nutrients, such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, C, P and niacin, all of which are relatively high. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the carotene and vitamin C in celery leaves are much more than those in celery stems, making it an excellent nutritious and health-care vegetable. It has the functions of invigorating the stomach, diuresis, purifying blood and regulating menstruation, lowering blood pressure, sedation, etc. Because of its high iron content, it can also be used as a health-care vegetable for iron deficiency anemia.
However, there is a way to solve this bitterness. After washing, blanch it in boiling water, and then mix it with cold, the taste will be much better. The ingredients for this cold dressing are smoked and dried, and the other is chickpeas.

9. Pour the hot oil into the ingredients, add the chopped garlic, appropriate amount of sugar, a little balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and stir well.
