Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons flaky sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons celery leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the celery stalks under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the celery stalks, then slice them on a slight diagonal into very thin pieces. Transfer the slices to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil to make a simple vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the sliced celery and toss well to coat evenly.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the parmesan cheese into thin ribbons. Add the parmesan ribbons to the celery mixture and gently toss to combine.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad. Toss lightly to distribute the seasoning.
If desired, garnish the salad with a few chopped celery leaves for added color and flavor.
Serve the celery salad immediately for the best crunch and flavor. Enjoy!
