Ingredients
- 6 pieces celery stalks
- 1 large granny smith apple
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the celery stalks. Trim the ends and thinly slice the stalks on a slight diagonal for added visual appeal.
Step 2
Core and thinly slice the granny smith apple into matchstick-sized pieces. To prevent browning, toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 3
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 4
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the parmesan cheese into thin ribbons, or grate it if you prefer a finer texture.
Step 5
Finely chop the parsley leaves and set aside.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 7
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced celery, apple matchsticks, toasted walnuts, parmesan ribbons, and parsley.
Step 8
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for optimal crunch!
