Ingredients for Apple Celery Root And Gruyere Salad

How to Make Apple Celery Root And Gruyere Salad

  1. Cut 4 ounces Gruyere cheese into matchsticks and place in a large bowl.
  2. Peel and cut 1 medium celery root and 2 medium apples into matchsticks (about 1/2 inch thick).
  3. Add the celery root and apples to the bowl with the cheese. Gently toss and add the juice of 1/2 lemon.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (adjust to taste), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Add to the slaw and toss gently to combine.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day) to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, taste and add more horseradish if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
