    How to Make Crisp Celery & Date Salad with Toasted Almonds and Parmesan Shavings

    1. Prepare the Celery

    Prepare the celery by slicing it on an angle into ¼-inch-thick pieces, and place these slices into a bowl of ice water for about 20 minutes.

    2. Drain and Dry Celery

    Once the celery has soaked, drain it well and pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess water.

    3. Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced celery, reserved celery leaves, roughly chopped Medjool dates, toasted almonds, lemon juice, and dried chile flakes. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    4. Add Cheese and Oil

    Add the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle in about ¼ cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss everything together gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated and the flavors are well-distributed.

    5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve

    Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a touch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to achieve a delightful balance of salty, tart, and sweet flavors. Serve the salad cool.
