Instructions
Wash and dry the celery stalks, then slice them thinly on a diagonal. Place the sliced celery into a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the green apples into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added color and texture. Add them to the mixing bowl with the celery.

Roughly chop the walnuts and parsley, then add them to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well combined.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
