Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Celery stalks
- 2 pieces Endive heads
- 1 piece Granny Smith apple
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the celery stalks and endive heads thoroughly.
Trim the ends and slice the celery stalks thinly on a diagonal. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Separate the endive leaves, stack them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the celery.
Core the Granny Smith apple, slice it into matchsticks, and toss it with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning. Add to the salad bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Let cool and add to the bowl.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin ribbons. Add the cheese and chopped parsley to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, remaining lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh starter or side dish.
