Celery Root & Rocket Salad with Lemon, Capers & Parmesan

Author Notes: I love celery root, it has a more floral and soft taste over celery. This time I sliced it very thin over a salad and it brought a very subtle celery flavor to the salad. Paired with the spiciness of the rocket, the lemon for a nice acidity and the saltiness of the capers and Parmesan. I really enjoyed it and I think its a fantastic fall salad. - Nicole Franzen
Serves 2
- 1 bunch of rocket (wild arugula)
- 1 celery root
- 1 lemon
- parmesan
- capers
- olive oil
- sea salt & pepper
- Wash the arugula and set aside to finish air drying. Trim the top off the celery root. Carefully trim the outer skin of the root. Then for best results use a mandolin to make thin slices of the root. If you dont have a mandolin, use a knife to make as thin slices as possible. Toss the celery root in the bowl with the arugula. Add a tablespoon of capers and season with sea salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and drizzle with olive oil (about 3 tablespoons) Toss together, taste, adjust seasoning if needed and plate, finish with freshly shaved Parmesan. Super easy, delicious and fresh.

Loved this salad. Made it last night - http://sowhatareyoumakingfordinner...
I had never used celery root before. My husband loved it!
And the dressing is what I usually use on my salad. Never was a fan of bottle dressings. It seems like you eating the dressing and not enjoying the ingredients of the salad.
Just subscribed to you blog! Wish I saw that shrimp recipe before I made dinner last night!
Hope you visit mine.

Thanks! I am glad you like it. The key is to have super fresh ingredients. Salads are better with simple dressings. I feel most store bought dressing are over powering and awful. It doesn't have to be complicated just keep it light, fresh and tasty :) Have you ever checked out my blog? I bet you would enjoy it.

Nicole, you and I definitely have the same taste in salad. I have a bowl of your lentil salad in my refrigerator right now--it will be lunch today. And as soon as my CSA gets celery root--which should be very soon--I'll be making this.
