It really is good though. But I didn't put in the anchovies. Would think
that you could sub in some olives of some sort for the saltiness factor.

Used to be a long standing sort of joke between the older neighbor girl and
me. She once came to the house to borrow some celery. Said there had been
a whole stalk of it there but as she was prepping it for dinner, she wound
up eating it all! And I did the same with a head of iceberg lettuce.
Wasn't on purpose in either case. We were just hungry and loved the stuff.
Was sort of like... One for the bowl. One for me. One for the bowl. Two
for me! And then we began eating from the bowl. I was banned from making
the salads for a couple of weeks after that. But I love celery so much that
I'll sometimes buy two stalks.
