Whenever I use diced celery in a delicate salad like egg, chicken, or tuna salad, I use a trick my mom taught me. You pull the tough outer strings off the stalk of celery before dicing. Using a paring knife with the flat edge against your thumb, you grab the strings at the widest cut end of the celery stalk and pull the thicker fibrous strings off.

Hello moseleyrogerv, This was a reader submitted recipe and that is the correct amount that this version called for. By all means I'd feel free to change things up. Maybe start with a third of the pepper and see how you like the taste? Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Mexicn or NOT! I cannot coceive of chopping and entire Habanero pepper into this salad. I love HOT stuff, but that much would be a real assault on one's taste buds. Are you sure that you really 'mean this'?
