Ever encounter a gnarly, knobby, lumpy-looking vegetable orb in the market? Upon further investigation, find that it is a celery root or celeriac. It doesn’t look like celery, but it sure has a wonderful celery flavor without all the stalks and strings. Wondered what to do with it? Here is an idea: turn it into a crisp, savory-sweet salad. It is well worth the cleaning and peeling necessary to get to the heart of celery flavor. Save the well-washed peel and roots in the freezer for a powerful addition to your next broth or stock.

ONWARD:

The bright celery flavor of celeriac also packs an earthiness. It pairs well with the natural sweetness of apples and grapes, with no sugar needed. The grainy mustard adds a spicy component to the mayonnaise-based salad dressing. To keep the salad crisp and the apples and celeriac white cut them just before dressing and serving. This salad pairs well with any vegetarian or poultry entrée.
