Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (2 oz), toasted and cooled

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.
  • While beets roast, peel celery root with a sharp knife and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks. Whisk together lemon juice, shallot, oil, salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl until combined well, then add celery root and toss until coated. Keep at room temperature, covered, until ready to add beets.
  • Carefully unwrap beets and, when just cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut beets into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks and toss with celery root.
  • 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.

This salad is a waste of time and ingredients. It's not worth the effort.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't very good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out really watery. I think I'll try again with less dressing next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

I think this salad would be even better if you used roasted beets instead of raw beets.

I'm not a huge fan of celery root, but this salad was still really good. The dressing really made it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few extra beets after making borscht.
