THE ULTIMATE CELERY ROOT SALAD

The Ultimate Celery Root Salad image

I love to make this nutty salad when I find celery roots which are firm and have the green leafy tops on them. You need to own a mandoline with a fine julienne blade or this salad will not have the correct texture. Adding the leaves, nuts, and cilantro is my touch.
