Directions

  1. In a food processor or with a sharp knife, slice the celery as thinly as possible.
  2. Put the celery in a bowl of ice water and crisp for 15 minutes.
  3. Drain and pat dry. Wipe out the bowl and return the celery to it.
  4. In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook the soybeans for 5 minutes.
  5. Drain and refresh under cold water. Shell the soybeans and pat dry.
  6. Add the soybeans, scallions, cilantro, mint and celery leaves to the celery and toss well.

  8. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, season with salt, toss and serve.
