Celery root goes by many other names such as celeriac, turnip-rooted celery, or knob celery and is typically harvested in the fall. It’s an odd looking root bulb that isn’t widespread but has a distinctive look and is a crunchy tasting cross between grassy parsley and celery.
I used this celeriac bulb in a raw state, much like I would a carrot or radish. Once peeled and sliced it adds a wonderful and unique crispness to foods and is a good partner to raw carrot salads. Topped with crunchy peanuts and our Penang Asian nut mix, it makes a lovely presentation.
This colorful salad is light, crunchy and fresh tasting and can be served alongside sandwiches or displayed on a large platter for entertaining. Enjoy!
