Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces celery stalks
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 50 grams walnuts
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons celery leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the celery stalks. Slice them diagonally into thin, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and set it aside.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced celery, chopped walnuts, and feta cheese. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and toss lightly once more.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with celery leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
