GERMAN CELERY ROOT SALAD
Celery root salad (Selleriesalat) is a staple in Germany in winter. You can buy it ready-made in a jar but my mom always made it for us from scratch. If you like, you can add garlic or fresh herbs, but I prefer it plain.

RAW-BEET AND CELERY-ROOT SALAD
Bright, crunchy, and infinitely pairable-this healthy side salad brings a lot to the table. It's a good thing then that beets are also a top source of plant-based iron. And when teamed up with citrus like they are here, it makes it more than just delicious-the vitamin C boosts how much of the good-for-you nutrients your body can absorb.

THE ULTIMATE CELERY ROOT SALAD
I love to make this nutty salad when I find celery roots which are firm and have the green leafy tops on them. You need to own a mandoline with a fine julienne blade or this salad will not have the correct texture. Adding the leaves, nuts, and cilantro is my touch.

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.

Steps:
- Pork chop:
- Pat pork chop dry with paper towels. Mix salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle all over pork. Place pork on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet so it's resting on its side with bone sticking upright and chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
- Let pork chop sit at room temperature at least 1 hour for even roasting.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub chop all over with oil and carefully place in skillet; reserve rack and baking sheet. Cook chop, turning every minute or so, until deeply browned on both sides, 5-8 minutes. Turn on its side and sear edges and fat cap until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer back to rack, place in oven, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of chop about 1" from bone registers 130°F, 25-35 minutes (use a probe thermometer if you've got one, or use an instant-read thermometer and check every few minutes after pork has been roasting 20 minutes). Transfer pork to a cutting board; let rest 15-20 minutes.
- Salad and assembly:
- While the pork is resting, whisk egg yolk, garlic, vinegar, mustard, and honey in a medium bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup oil, whisking until dressing is emulsified (it should be the consistency of heavy cream). Season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Toss lettuce, frisée, celery root, apple, Pecorino, and almonds in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add about three-quarters of dressing and toss to coat; add more dressing to taste and season with more kosher salt and pepper.
- Use a thin-bladed knife to cut pork chop away from rib bone, then cut between bones to separate into 2 ribs (or don't, and greedily eat both bones in the kitchen before serving others, because you're the cook and you deserve it). Slice chop 1/2" thick, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with salad.
PARSLEY, FENNEL, AND CELERY ROOT SALAD
Steps:

- Whisk together lemon juice (to taste), shallot, sugar, salt, pepper, and oil in a small bowl. Toss salad with dressing.

Steps:
- Prepare dressing: In a medium bowl, combine shallots, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then gradually whisk in the vegetable oil and olive oil. Add the heavy cream and cayenne pepper, stirring to blend. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Add about half of the dressing, and toss to coat; add more dressing, if desired. Add the chives, 1 tablespoon of the celery leaves and all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Add additional lemon juice and salt and pepper as desired, to taste.
- To serve, peel avocado and slice into thin wedges. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with just enough olive oil to coat the wedges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the avocado among six plates. Divide the celery root mixture among plates, placing it on top of the avocado but allowing some of the avocado to show at one side. In a small bowl, combine the remaining crab meat, parsley and celery leaves. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the dressing, and toss to combine; reserve the remaining dressing for another use. Place a spoonful of crab mixture on top of each salad as garnish. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Scrub the celery root and cook it in salted water until tender, which may take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending upon the age of the root. When tender, cool, peel and slice into small julienne strips. Add onion juice, mustard and cream to the French dressing. Beat well. Let the celery root chill in this for several hours. If it absorbs all the marinade, add more to moisten. Serve sprinkled with the parsley, chervil and riced egg.
BEET & CELERY ROOT POTATO SALAD
This is a fantastic way to use a variety of root vegetables! The end result is beautifully colored with each ingredient being its own shade of pink. I also like the way that it has layers of texture. It can be hard to do with root vegetables. If you don't care about the texture you can make it all easier by boiling everything and just dicing it all and mixing it up like regular potato salad. I think doing it this way is worth the effort though.

Steps:
- Boil or steam potatoes until tender. Usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Cool, rub off skin and dice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
- Set aside in mixing bowl. This can be done ahead. And you can use left over potatoes as long as they are red or new potatoes and not baking potatoes. They need to have the dense texture of a new potato. I use exotic varieties from my garden.
- Dice Beets into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
- Put large skillet on medium-high heat. Add water, diced beets, salt, garlic, dill (if dried, if using fresh add at the end) and cider vinegar. Simmer uncovered stirring occasionally.
- While beets start to cook dice celeriac into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
- After beets have cooked 8-10 minutes and liquid is about half gone add the diced celery root.
- Continue to simmer until all liquid has evaporated. You will need to stir more frequently as it gets closer to the end and you may want to turn the heat down to medium-low. It is important that you use a wide skillet or it takes forever and the veggies will over cook. When finished taste and adjust salt content if desired. Beets should still be slightly al dente and celery root should be soft but not mushy. NOTE: If it gets to this consistency before the liquid evaporates you can strain off the excess juices but you will have to add extra seasoning and vinegar to make up for what you lose.
- Remove from heat and add to cooked potatoes.
- While mixture is still warm stir in onion and parsley.
- Stir in mayonnaise. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking.
- Serve room temperature or chilled.
