Danish Celeriac Salad Recipes

RIBBON CELERIAC SALAD

Steps:

• Once you've peeled the celeriac, chuck away the skin and then carry on peeling around it, giving you long ribbons. If they break every now and again it doesn't matter. Continue until you reach the fluffy tasteless inner core, which you should throw away. Remove and discard the chunky stalks from the parsley, then finely slice the thinner stalks and roughly chop the leaves.
• Put your celeriac and parsley into a large bowl and mix together with all the other ingredients. Season to taste, adding a little more vinegar if need be, then serve straight away.
• Try this: Put some of this salad on a plate, then cover it completely with some smoked salmon and plenty of ground black pepper.
• Or this: Roast a nice chicken. Allow it to cool and serve with this salad.

CELERIAC AND CELERY SALAD

Steps:

Season and dress with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. This salad can be dressed a little before you need it, as opposed to at the table. Place on a large plate and sprinkle with some extra pomegranate seeds. Sometimes I crumble goat's cheese over this, or some ricotta salata which I encrust with dried herbs, salt and pepper, drizzled with olive oil and bake until golden in a hot oven.
