A fresh and colorful salad in which we have included three colors of grapes: red, green, and black. Each one contributes its particular flavor creating a delicious combination along with a simple lemon vinaigrette. It is very easy to prepare, and it pairs with practically any type of food.

It is ideal for brunch or a special occasion meal, whether for lunch or dinner. We recommend preparing and serving it immediately so that the texture of the grapes and celery is maintained.

In addition to being delicious, it is a very healthy salad. All colors of grapes have nutrients and are a natural source of antioxidants and other polyphenols that are beneficial for our health and are found in the skin, pulp, and seeds of grapes.
