Description

Prized by gardeners during the Renaissance, celery root, or celeriac, has a light celery flavor and a dense flesh that is perfect for shredding into slaws. This salad is wonderful with the chicken and biscuits or the flank steak. Enjoy any leftovers the next day.

Ingredients

1 cup pecan halves (3 1/2 oz), toasted > and cooled
1 (1 1/2-lb) celery root, peeled with a sharp knife and quartered
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Finely chop two thirds of nuts. Coarsely grate celery root in a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk.
  2. Stir together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until salt is dissolved, then add celery root, chopped nuts, parsley, and shallot and toss well. Drizzle salad with oil and toss again. Serve sprinkled with remaining pecans.
