This refreshing celery salad combines crunch, sweetness, and savory cheese. It comes together quickly and works well as a light side dish or a quick lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shaved or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all your ingredients: thinly slice the celery, chop the dates, toast and chop the pecans, and measure out the dressing components.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, avocado oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your dressing.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced celery, chopped dates, and toasted pecans.
  4. Pour the dressing over the celery mixture. Toss gently until all ingredients are lightly coated.
  5. Fold in the Parmesan cheese and fresh dill, if using. Mix briefly to combine.
  6. Serve the celery salad immediately for maximum crunch, or chill for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld slightly.

Notes

  • Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • For a different flavor profile, swap the dates for dried cranberries or golden raisins.
  • This salad keeps well for up to two days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
