Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green apple
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and trim the ends. Slice each stalk diagonally into thin pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
Wash and deseed the red bell pepper. Slice it into thin strips.
Core the green apple and cut it into small cubes. Leave the skin on for added color and nutrition.
Peel and finely chop half a small red onion.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley. Measure out about 0.25 cup of chopped parsley.
Coarsely chop the raw almonds. Optionally, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden, for added nuttiness.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, ground black pepper, and honey until well combined to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced celery, bell pepper strips, apple cubes, chopped red onion, and parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
Add the chopped almonds to the salad and give a final toss.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for flavors to meld together.
