Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the celery stalks diagonally into thin, bite-sized slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the sliced celery and toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add both to the bowl with the celery and gently mix to incorporate.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cold celery salad chilled as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy its crisp, refreshing taste!
