Apple, Celery Root and Gruyere Salad image

A delightfully different slaw style salad. You can use more or less horseradish to suit your taste. I love to serve this as a pre-dinner salad spooned on top of a bed of watercress or part of a large buffet.

Ingredients

Pork chop:
1 double-cut pork chop (1 1/2-2 pounds)
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal or 1 1/2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salad and assembly:
1 large egg yolk
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon or horseradish mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 cups torn red leaf lettuce (from about 1 head)
4 cups torn frisée (from about 1 head)
1/2 small celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)
1 apple, cut into matchsticks
2 ounces Pecorino, shaved
1/2 cup chopped smoked almonds
Flaky sea salt

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.

Tips:

To enhance the flavor of your celery root and apple salad, make sure to select crisp, fresh celery root and tart, juicy apples. Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for this salad due to their tartness and ability to hold their shape when shredded.
When shredding the celery root and apples, use a sharp grater or food processor fitted with a shredding disc. This will ensure that the vegetables are evenly shredded and will help them absorb the dressing better.
For a creamy and tangy dressing, use a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup to balance out the tartness of the apples and celery root.
To add a crunchy texture to the salad, consider adding some chopped walnuts or pecans. You can also add some dried cranberries or raisins for a touch of sweetness.
Serve the salad immediately after it is made to prevent the celery root and apples from browning. You can also store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Celery root and apple salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its combination of sweet, tart, and creamy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this celery root and apple salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
