# Ingredients:
→ Salad
01 -
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
02 -
6 celery stalks, sliced very thin
03 -
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped finely
04 -
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
05 -
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
→ Dressing
06 -
1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
07 -
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
08 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
09 -
1/4 cup olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the celery under clean, cold water to remove any dirt. Dry them off with some paper towels and slice them diagonally into thin pieces for a nice look.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and toss the celery slices with the parsley and the dill that you've already cut up.
03 -
Using a dry pan over medium heat, stir the walnuts now and then until they're nice and fragrant, which will take about 2-3 minutes. Once done, let them cool and chop them up.
04 -
In a smaller bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir it all up until it looks smooth and blended.
05 -
Pour your dressing over the celery-herb mix. Gently stir everything so all the ingredients get evenly coated.
06 -
Before you dig in, sprinkle the Parmesan and toasted walnuts right on top. This keeps them both crunchy and fresh.
# Notes:
01 -
This crisp dish showcases the natural crunch of celery with the added flavor from herbs and lemon.
02 -
For the tastiest results, serve this as soon as you're done putting it together or within a few hours.
03 -
If you'd rather get ahead of schedule, keep the parts separate and only mix right before eating to keep everything fresh.
04 -
This light dish works great with grilled fish, roasted meat, or as a side for larger meals.
