Apple And Celery Salad With Gruyere Recipes

APPLE, CELERY ROOT AND GRUYERE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut cheese into matchsticks and put in a large bowl.
• Peel celery root and apples and cut into matchsticks.
• Add celery root, apples, and lemon juice to cheese, tossing gently.
• In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients and add to slaw, tossing gently.
• Slaw may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Add additional horseradish to taste before serving if necessary.

FENNEL, APPLE AND CELERY ROOT GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish or other ovenproof casserole.
• Cut off the entire rough exterior of the celery roots, making sure that all brown parts are removed. You will be removing about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of the exterior of each. Next, cut each celery root in 1/2 lengthwise. Turn one 1/2 cut side down, and cut into 1/4-inch wide pieces. Repeat with the remaining celery root. Set aside.
• Cut off the fronds and the dark green parts of each fennel bulb, leaving just the bulb. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• In a vegetable steamer, combine the celery root and fennel and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from the steamer and set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rings.
• Place 1/3 of the celery root on the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Overlap with 1/3 of the apple slices, and sprinkle with a little more salt but no pepper. Put 1/3 of the fennel over the apples, and once again sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining celery root, apple, and fennel. Pour cream around the sides of the dish until the cream reaches about halfway up the dish. Sprinkle the top of the gratin with the cheese. Cover and bake for 35 minutes, or until the vegetables and apple feel tender when pierced with a fork or a skewer. Turn the oven to broil, remove the cover, and broil until the gratin is golden brown and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
• Let cool 15 minutes to allow the cream to firm up slightly and serve.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Remove any damaged outer leaves of the endives and rinse with cold water. Dry with paper towels, then separate the leaves, or slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a wide salad bowl. Add the walnuts, gruyère, parsley and tarragon.
• Quarter the apple and cut away the core, then slice very thin (you should have at least 16 slices). Place in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oils. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Drain the apple slices, dry on paper towels, then add to the salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

CELERY ROOT, GRUYèRE, AND APPLE SLAW WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Cut cheese into matchsticks and put in a large bowl. Peel celery root and apples and cut into matchsticks. Add celery root, apples, and lemon juice to cheese, tossing gently.
• In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients and add to slaw, tossing gently. Slaw may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Add additional horseradish to taste before serving if necessary. Season slaw with salt and pepper.

CELERY SALAD WITH APPLES AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, shallot, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the sliced celery and toss to coat.
• Core the apples, then slice them lengthwise into very thin wedges using a knife or mandoline. Add to the sliced celery and toss to coat. Peel or slice off the outer skin and layers of the celery root until no brown skin remains. Cut the celery root in half lengthwise, then slice into very thin half-moons using a knife or a mandoline. Add to the celery and apple mixture and toss to coat. (The salad will hold up fairly well refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours - or even overnight - from this point.)
• Just before serving, add the parsley, almonds and half the cheese, and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter; top with the remaining cheese, the reserved celery leaves and fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately.

APPLE-CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Toss celery and apples with lemon juice. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider, vinegar, oil, mustard and sugar. Pour over celery mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour. Stir before serving.

CELERY AND APPLE SALAD WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Set toasted pecans aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, and sugar until smooth.
• Add celery and apple; season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Crumble toasted pecans on top, and serve immediately.
