Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
4 cups cubed celery root (about 2 celery root)
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cups cubed watermelon (about 1/3 of a regular watermelon)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, minced
Juice from 1 lime
1/3 pound ricotta salata, grated on a box grater

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Add the celery root to the boiling water and blanch until cooked through and translucent, about 3 minutes. Shock the celery root in the ice bath to arrest the cooking. Drain the celery root, then toss with the olive oil and some salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Add the watermelon to a separate bowl and toss with the mint and lime juice. If eating on a picnic, keep the celery root mixture, watermelon mixture and ricotta salata separate in their own containers before mixing in a bowl just before serving. If serving at home, combine the celery root and watermelon mixture and toss a few times. Put on a platter and top with the ricotta salata.
