Ingredients
- 1 large bulb knob celery (celeriac)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups walnuts, toasted and chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the knob celery and cut it into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.
Step 2
Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil. Add the knob celery cubes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
Drain the cooked celery and rinse with cold water to cool it down. Set aside to allow any excess water to drain off.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Step 5
Place the cooked and cooled knob celery cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped parsley and toasted walnuts.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the celery mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
