Celery Root, Apple and Walnut Salad
What is that strange looking thing in the vegetable rack? My daughter asks me insistently while I was mentally checking if I missed a vegetable or not for the minestrone I was going to prepare. Done with my mental check, I turned to the vegetable she was referring to. That strange looking thing, my dear, is going to end up in our paper bag because I need it for a salad. The big, bulbous celeriac or celery root is delicious when combined with apples and walnuts in a coleslaw. It is a variety of celery that is grown for its edible roots, thus, it tastes similar to the common celery stalks.
I love flavors that bite especially when it's a competition between tartness and saltiness or sweetness. It does overwhelm my taste buds at times but this is the tang that gets my attention. Piquant food stimulates my appetite so a little portion of this paired with just a slice or two of smoked salmon makes a great appetizer. I take is as a promise of a good meal ahead of me.
