Ingredients

• 4 pieces Celery stalks
• 2 pieces Endive heads
• 1 piece Granny Smith apple
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the celery stalks and endive heads thoroughly.

Step 2

Trim the ends and slice the celery stalks thinly on a diagonal. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Separate the endive leaves, stack them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the celery.

Step 4

Core the Granny Smith apple, slice it into matchsticks, and toss it with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning. Add to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Let cool and add to the bowl.

Step 6

Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin ribbons. Add the cheese and chopped parsley to the salad bowl.

Step 7

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, remaining lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Step 8

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Serve the salad immediately as a fresh starter or side dish.
