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

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves and add them to the salad mixture.
Step 4
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, juice the lemon into a small bowl.
Step 5
In the same bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the fennel and celery mixture, and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the lemon zest and freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the salad before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a crisp and refreshing side dish, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
