Make this how you like it! If you hate celery (like me!) omit it. If you prefer pecans over almonds, swap them out! Adding fruit is going to increase your carbs so be mindful of that. Grapes should still work for Low Carb days but if you are following a moderate plan you may be able to get away with doing crasins OR diced apples instead and still hit your macros serving this in lettuce wraps or alone. Avoid this recipe on High carb days as it does have 20+ grams of fat.
