Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium bulbs Fennel bulb
- 4 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 whole Lemon
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Trim the fennel bulbs by cutting off the stalks and removing any tough outer layers. Slice the bulbs very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline, and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Wash the celery thoroughly and trim the ends. Slice the stalks thinly on a diagonal and add them to the bowl with the fennel.
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves and add them to the salad mixture.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, juice the lemon into a small bowl.
In the same bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fennel and celery mixture, and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the lemon zest and freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the salad before serving.
Serve immediately as a crisp and refreshing side dish, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
