Ingredients
- 2 large Green apples
- 4 medium Celery stalks
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Wash the green apples and celery thoroughly. Core the apples and cut them into thin matchstick slices (julienne). Thinly slice the celery at an angle for added texture.
Step 3
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced apples, celery, toasted walnuts, and chopped parsley.
Step 6
Pour the mustard vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
