While I love and use celery stalks often, I'd never tried celery root. I'd see it in the store, but had no idea what to do with it or what it tasted like. Well, not to long ago, I made this salad and we loved it. The root has a pronounced celery flavor,has texture to it and is even good alone, or with dip..It would be great on a veggie tray or even used in a chicken or tuna salad instead of the stalks, no strings and yet easy to deal with after peeling.
Here is the salad..
1-c. walnut pieces, toasted
1- celery root about 6 oz. peeled and cut in thin strips, or med. dicel
2-granny smith apples, cored, then cut into thin strips, or med. dice
2-red delicious apples, cored or med. dice
24 leaves belgian endive if you want to make up individual salad plates, I just lined a bowl with the endive and put the dressed celery root,apples and walnuts in the center.
dressing:
1-c. sour cream
3/4-c.mayo
3/4-c.plain yogurt
juice of two lemons
1- tea. white truffle oil
salt to taste.
I just whisked together all the ingredients dressed the salad then lightly salted to taste ..
Serves 8
enjoy,
