# Ingredients:
→ Salad
01 -
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped into pieces
02 -
1/2 cup Parmesan, shaved into thin ribbons
03 -
6 celery stalks, sliced diagonally
04 -
1/4 cup fresh dill, finely minced
05 -
1/4 cup parsley leaves, roughly torn
→ Dressing
06 -
1/4 cup olive oil
07 -
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
08 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground fresh
09 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the celery stalks well under cold water to get rid of dirt. Use some paper towels to dry them off, then cut them thinly at a diagonal angle for a nice look.
02 -
Throw the sliced celery, the rough-cut parsley, and the finely chopped dill into a big mixing bowl.
03 -
Warm up a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the walnuts and stir now and then. When the aroma comes out and they look lightly browned (about 2–3 minutes), take them off the heat. Let them cool before chopping.
04 -
In a smaller bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir briskly with a whisk until it looks well mixed.
05 -
Drizzle the dressing over the mixture in your large bowl. Use your hands or utensils to toss gently, making sure everything’s coated.
06 -
Right before you serve, sprinkle the shaved Parmesan and toasted walnut bits over the top. This keeps the nuts crunchy and the cheese fresh.
