Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces celery stalks
- 1 piece granny smith apple
- 1 piece red apple
- 0.5 cup toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the celery stalks and apples.
Thinly slice the celery stalks on a diagonal and place them in a large salad bowl.
Cut the granny smith apple and red apple into thin slices or matchsticks, removing the core. Immediately toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning, then add them to the salad bowl.
Add the toasted pecans and chopped parsley to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the celery, apple, and pecan mixture and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld together before serving.
