Watermelon And Celery Root Salad Recipes

CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with ice water; add half of the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon salt. Peel the celery root with a paring knife. Rinse, then cut into matchsticks. Add to the lemon water and let soak 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Whisk the remaining lemon juice, the mustard, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; gradually whisk in the olive oil, then the cream. Add the celery root and toss; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Arrange the frisee and radicchio on a platter. Top with the celery root mixture.

GERMAN CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Combine celeriac pieces, water, and 1 tablespoon salt in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until celeriac is soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid, and set aside to cool, about 1 hour. Cube celeriac and place in a bowl with onion.
• Stir together cooled cooking liquid, vinegar, and sugar. Pour over celeriac and onion. Add oil and mix well. Season with salt.

CELERY AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
• When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

CELERY, WATERMELON AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the celery, watermelon, cucumber, celery leaves and salt. If desired, season with a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Toss to mix, cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
• Place equal portions on each of 4 plates. Top with feta and serve.

CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and quarter celery root. Place in a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut into slices and place into a salad bowl.
• Combine oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing over celery root. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours to intensify flavors.
