The celery root is an interesting vegetable and is being used a lot in the German kitchen. We add it to the broths and you can make salads and little burgers out of it. It has an interesting taste, like nuts but better. The celery root can be combined with apples, walnuts, or lettuce. I add it to the regular green salad with carrots. Why don’t you try it out? I am sure you will like it…
