Wash and pat dry the celery stalks and apples.
Step 2
Thinly slice the celery stalks on a diagonal and place them in a large salad bowl.

Cut the granny smith apple and red apple into thin slices or matchsticks, removing the core. Immediately toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning, then add them to the salad bowl.

Add the toasted pecans and chopped parsley to the salad bowl.

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the celery, apple, and pecan mixture and toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
