Ingredients
12 celery stalks, chopped
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
⅔ cup pecans, roughly chopped
½ cup golden raisins
⅓ cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chopped celery, golden raisins, pecans, and sliced shallot. Toss gently.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Let the salad rest for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Just before serving, add the grated Parmesan and toss once more.
Notes
For extra depth, lightly toast the pecans before adding them.
Thinly slicing the celery on a bias makes the salad more elegant and tender.
Best served slightly chilled or at room temperature.
