Best Celery Salad With Celery Root And Horseradish Recipes

CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and quarter celery root. Place in a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut into slices and place into a salad bowl.
• Combine oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing over celery root. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours to intensify flavors.

CELERY AND RADISH SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and oil. Add celery and radishes, toss, and season with salt and pepper.

CELERY SALAD WITH CELERY ROOT AND HORSERADISH RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Peel and halve celery root. Using a mandoline, very thinly slice one half. Cut other half into matchstick-size pieces. Combine celery root, celery stalks, shallot, lemon zest, and horseradish in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Let vegetables sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Whisk oil and lemon juice in a small bowl; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over vegetables. Add celery leaves and parsley and toss salad to combine.

CELERY AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
• When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

LONG-COOKED CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• To cook whole celery root, rinse it briefly to remove any soil, then put it into a large saucepan with cold water to cover. Since it floats, you can weight it with a pot cover or dish on the root to keep it under the surface, or just turn it over in the water now and then to cook evenly. Bring the water to a boil, and cook for about an hour, until tender, when you can pierce the whole root with a skewer.
• Set the root in a colander or on a wire rack, and let it cool for 10 minutes or so, until you can handle it. Use the back of a thin knife blade (the dull edge) to scrape off the soft brown skin; use the knife tip to cut out the bits of skin in the folds and knobby parts of the root. When it is completely clear, cut the round root into wedges, chunks, slices, cubes, sticks, or any shape you like, and sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt while still warm. Toss the pieces with the scallions, and dress with oil, vinegar, more salt, and pepper. Let the salad cool completely, or refrigerate it.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled. Before serving, taste a piece of celery root and adjust the dressing if you like. Toss with the chopped parsley, and arrange the salad on a serving platter or in portions on salad plates.
• Variations for celery root salad
• For milder flavor, poach the scallions with the celery root for 10 minutes before slicing them.
• Garnish the salad with shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano.
• For a lovely and unusual first-course salad, fold in sliced fresh pears (but omit the scallions).
• For a heartier main-course salad, fold in hard-boiled eggs, tuna, or cooked meats.
• For an interesting twist on celery root, roast the whole unpeeled root in a 350° oven for an hour or more, until tender all the way through. Cool, peel, and make your favorite salad.
