Celeriac Slaw
  • servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 medium bulbs celeriac, (celery root), 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total

  • 2 stalks celery

  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil, or 1 teaspoon dried

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Peel celeriac with a paring knife. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices, then cut into very thin ribbons (use a mandoline if you have one), placing in cold water to prevent browning. Drain and blanch briefly in boiling salted water. Squeeze out water, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Peel celery and slice on an angle as thinly as possible. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a blender or food processor, combine buttermilk, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Process until smooth. Add capers and herbs, and process until coarsely chopped, about 5 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Combine celeriac and celery in a bowl, and toss with dressing.
