- Whisk the mixture vigorously until emulsified and well combined.

3. Assemble the Salad:
- Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the celery and shallot mixture.
- Toss gently using salad tongs or your hands to ensure every piece is coated with the vinaigrette.

4. Add the Cheese:
- Gently fold in the shaved Parmesan cheese, reserving a small amount for garnishing.

5. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls.
- Garnish with the reserved Parmesan cheese on top for a finishing touch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing and crisp flavors.
