Celery Root Vinaigrette Recipes

BARLEY, CELERY ROOT AND MUSHROOM SALAD WITH SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the barley grains on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until fragrant and golden, 20 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the celery root with 2 tablespoons oil, .25 teaspoon salt and pepper. On a separate baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with .25 cup oil, .5 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast both, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes for the mushrooms, and 30 to 40 minutes for the celery root. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring 10 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Add the barley and simmer until tender, 45 to 50 minutes; drain. Add to the mushrooms and celery root.
• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, scallions, celery leaves, .25 teaspoon salt and pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons oil. Toss the vinaigrette and diced celery stalk into the salad. Coarsely chop .25 cup parsley leaves and add to the salad. Toss in the remaining whole leaves, tearing larger leaves into smaller pieces. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CELERY ROOT SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND PECANS

Steps:

• To make the mustard vinaigrette, use a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife to smash the garlic and a tiny pinch of salt to make a paste. Whisk the paste in a small bowl with the mustard, vinegar and remaining salt. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the oil until fully incorporated. Season with pepper.
• To make the salad, fit a food processor with a large grating blade; grate the celery root. (You can also use a box grater, though beware your knuckles.) Transfer to a large bowl and add the arugula and pecans. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well. Season with more salt, vinegar and olive oil if needed before serving.
