How to choose the best ingredients for Celery Root Apple Salad
Celery root: Celery root stores very well—keep it in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. It’s a great ingredient to have on hand for quick salads and sides.
Apple: Choose firm, fresh apples—sweet or slightly sweet-tart varieties work best for a balanced flavor.
Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor. Check the tips & tricks section to learn how to get the most juice from citrus fruits.
Yogurt: Greek yogurt works best thanks to its thick, creamy texture similar to sour cream. You can use a lighter version or any natural yogurt you prefer. Homemade yogurt is also a great option.
Top Tip
If you're going to make this recipe, make sure to follow this top tip!
- Roll the lemon on the countertop, pressing it gently before cutting—this helps release more juice.
- Cut the lemon in half and use a juicer for the best results. If you don’t have a juicer, squeeze the lemon through a strainer to catch seeds and pulp.
- Toss celery root with lemon juice right after cutting to prevent browning.
- Cut the celery root and apples into thin, even strips for the best texture.
- Use crisp, slightly tart apples for a balanced flavor. Let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.
- Adjust seasoning at the end—sometimes it needs a bit more salt or acidity.
