Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 celery stalks
- 2 avocado
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley leaves, chopped
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. Trim the ends and slice them thinly on a diagonal.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Slice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced celery, avocado, and chopped parsley with the dressing, ensuring everything is well-coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley if desired.
