Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Celery root (peeled and julienned)
- 1 large Apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala, julienned)
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 third cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Peel the celery root with a sharp knife to remove the tough outer skin. Julienne the celery root and set it aside.
Wash and core the apple, then julienne it as well. You do not need to peel the apple unless preferred.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned celery root, apple, and shredded Gruyere cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the celery root, apple, and Gruyere mixture. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Fold in the chopped parsley for a fresh, herby finish.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with a light sprinkle of additional parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
