Steps:
- At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
- When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

PARSLEY AND ROMAINE SALAD
I sometimes use parsley as a salad green, adding the leaves whole or cutting them into chiffonade, as I do in this delicate salad. You can dress it with a vinaigrette, or with a simpler combination of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.

PARMESAN ROMAINE SALAD
This salad is simple, but it's big on flavor. The shaved Parmesan adds intense cheese flavor, and the nicely balanced dressing lets the other flavors shine. If you're pressed for time, it's good with bottled dressing, too.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN
This crisp, lemony salad of raw fennel and celery (you could add thinly sliced celery root to the salad as well) makes a refreshing start to a meal, garnished with radishes and slightly bitter Treviso or radicchio leaves. It could also be a light meal on its own. Don't slice the vegetables paper-thin; you want the salad to have some crunch. You may prepare the vegetables up to an hour in advance and keep refrigerated, but don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for romaine lettuce that is deep green and has no signs of wilting. Celery should be crisp and have no brown spots. Parmesan cheese should be freshly grated for the best flavor.
- Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly: Romaine lettuce can harbor dirt and bacteria, so it is important to wash it thoroughly before using. Rinse the lettuce under cold water for several minutes, then dry it with a salad spinner or paper towels.
- Cut the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces: This will make the salad easier to eat and will help the dressing to coat the lettuce evenly.
- Chop the celery into thin slices: This will help the celery to blend in with the other ingredients and will make the salad more visually appealing.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely: This will help the cheese to distribute evenly throughout the salad and will make it easier to eat.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper is a good choice for this salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is light and not too overpowering.
- Toss the salad gently: Over-tossing the salad can bruise the lettuce and make it wilted. Toss the salad gently until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Before serving, bring the salad to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Romaine, celery, and Parmesan salad is a simple, refreshing, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crunchy texture and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
