Begin by washing the celery stalks thoroughly. Cut off the ends and chop the celery into approximately 1/4 inch slices. Place the chopped celery in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Dice the avocado into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the mixing bowl with the celery.
Chop the walnuts roughly, ensuring they are of a medium size. Add them to the mixing bowl as well.
Roll the lemon on the counter using your palm to soften it up, then slice it in half. Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds.
Combine the fresh lemon juice with the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Whisk the dressing until well-emulsified.
Pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the celery, avocado, and walnuts in the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the celery and freshness of the avocado.
