Ingredients

  • 6 large celery stalks, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 crisp apple, cored and thinly sliced or diced
  • 1 small cucumber, halved and sliced
  • ¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted sunflower or pumpkin seeds, optional

Directions

  1. Add the celery, apple, cucumber, red onion, walnuts, parsley and dill to a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and black pepper. Add only a small pinch of salt if needed.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well so the celery and apple are evenly coated.
  4. Let the salad stand for 5–10 minutes before serving so the flavors blend while the celery stays crisp.
  5. Finish with unsalted sunflower or pumpkin seeds if desired.
