Celery root looks like a giant turnip, but tastes more like a cross between celery and jicama.
The result is a cool coleslaw-like salad without the taste of cabbage.
Sacramento chef Evie Lieb prepared this salad to go with thepanko-crusted salmonin our recent cooking class.

Celery Root Salad
Recipe from Evie Lieb.
Celery root is hard to cut through, like butternut squash.
Evie recommends using a chef’s knife and a large rubber mallet.
Gently hit the back of the knife blade with the rubber mallet to cut through the celery root.
Fold in the celery root and apple and season with salt and pepper.
Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
