How to Make
-
Step 1: Celery Root ... I like to use the food processor or mandolin for this; but, it isn't necessary - you can easily cut them into match sticks by hand if you want. Add them to a bowl of ice water, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Let them soak 10-15 minutes; then, drain, and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to dry. Just like artichokes and potatoes ... the celery root will brown easily; and, soaking them in lemon water will prevent this.
-
Step 2: Dressing ... In a large bowl; add the juice of the other lemon, Dijon mustard, vinegar, celery seed,salt, pepper, and mix to combine. Slowly whisk in the olive oil; and then the heavy cream. Taste to see if any additional salt and pepper is necessary.
-
Step 3: Salad ... Add the celery root (which has been dried), radicchio, and onion to the dressing, and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate 15-30 minutes before serving.
-
Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! ... Add the frisee to the salad right before serving, and lightly toss; season again, if needed. Great for a potluck, BBQ, picnic, etc. Perfect summer food!
