Store celery in two containers in the refrigerator: larger stalks in water for up to two weeks, and more delicate parts in a separate container for about a week.

Cut the celery into half lengthwise and then slice into about a quarter-inch thick slices.

Prepare the dates by cutting around the pit into quarters and then dicing them crosswise. If the dates stick, warm the knife in hot water.

Toast almonds in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes and then chop them roughly.

Add a couple of good tablespoons (about a quarter of a cup) of olive oil to the salad.

Add sun-dried red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste.

Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to the salad and toss everything together.
