• 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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the celery stalks under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

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.

Step 6

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.
