Ingredients

  • 6 DOLE celery heart stalks about 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 medium fennel bulb trimmed (about 1 cup)
  • 4 Medjool dates pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
  • 1 oz Parmesan-Reggiano shaved

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place almonds on a baking sheet and toast for about 8-10 minutes. Almonds will turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow the almonds to cool before coarsely chopping.
  • Thinly slice your celery and fennel. Make sure you slice the celery hearts on a diagonal angle so you get pretty slices.
  • Add the celery, fennel, dates, almonds, lemon juice and parsley into a medium sized bowl. Add salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Drizzle on olive oil, add shaved Parmesan and gently toss. Serve and enjoy!
