Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a tiny pinch, more to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium celery root, trimmed and peeled
5 cups arugula or other salad greens, torn into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped, toasted pecans.

Steps:

  • To make the mustard vinaigrette, use a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife to smash the garlic and a tiny pinch of salt to make a paste. Whisk the paste in a small bowl with the mustard, vinegar and remaining salt. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the oil until fully incorporated. Season with pepper.
  • To make the salad, fit a food processor with a large grating blade; grate the celery root. (You can also use a box grater, though beware your knuckles.) Transfer to a large bowl and add the arugula and pecans. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well. Season with more salt, vinegar and olive oil if needed before serving.

CELERY ROOT SALAD

This is one of my favorite winter salads. I often make a large bowl and store it in the fridge because the salad keeps well and intensifies in flavor over time. If you like, you can top the salad with chopped parsley.
