Ingredients
4 stalks Celery stalks, cleaned, trimmed, and shaved paper-thin
1 cup Broccoli, chopped into small florets
¼ cup Sunflower seeds
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler
3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
½ Fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Honey
Salt
Black pepper
Directions
Rinse the celery stalks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, shave each stalk lengthwise into paper-thin ribbons.
Chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and honey until well combined and emulsified.
Season the dressing to taste with salt and black pepper, adjusting the balance of flavors as preferred.
In a large mixing bowl or on a serving platter, combine the shaved celery, chopped broccoli, and sunflower seeds.
Pour the lemon-honey dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat evenly, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
Top the salad with the shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while the celery remains crisp and tender.
Comments
Every ingredient is widely available at any Charlotte grocery chain with no special trips required—celery, broccoli, sunflower seeds, and parmesan are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart alike. The 15-minute stated time is honest for a raw salad of chopped vegetables and a quick vinaigrette, though dicing celery and broccoli by hand takes a bit of focus. Cost per serving runs around $1.50 to $2.00 depending on celery and broccoli prices, which is solid for a side dish. This is a no-fuss weeknight side that reheats poorly (dressed salad gets soggy), so it is best eaten the same night, which limits its appeal for meal prep but works fine as a fresh accompaniment to grilled proteins.
