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.

6 medium beets (2 1/4 lb with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
1 (1-lb) celery root (sometimes called celeriac)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus additional to taste

6 medium beets
1 lb celery root
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste as I used much less)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
Wrap beets tightly in foil to make 2 packages (3 beets in each) and roast until tender, about 1 1/4 hours.

Let salad stand, covered, at room temperature 1 hour. Taste salad and season with more lemon juice and salt if necessary, then toss with walnuts.

Tips:

Use a mandoline or food processor to slice the celery root and beets thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
If you don't have a mandoline or food processor, you can use a sharp knife to slice the celery root and beets. Just be sure to slice them as thinly as possible.
Don't overcook the celery root and beets. They should be tender but still slightly crisp.
If you are using canned beets, be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
Add the walnuts and goat cheese to the salad just before serving. This will help prevent the walnuts from becoming soggy and the goat cheese from melting.

Conclusion:

This salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy celery root and beets. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish. The combination of sweet beets, crunchy celery root, and creamy goat cheese is sure to please everyone at the table.
