Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh celery stalks
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup parsley leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the leaves and base from the celery stalks. Slice the celery into 1/4 inch pieces diagonally.
Step 2
Core the Granny Smith apple and chop it into small cubes. Immediately toss the apple pieces with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the parsley leaves.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Step 5
Add the sliced celery, chopped apples, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley into the large bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 7
Add the toasted walnuts to the salad and give it another gentle toss.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
