Best		 Salads of cooked celery root are very popular in Germany and Poland. They are moderately sweet, nutritious and very tasty. This is an excellent salad for serving at a buffet and has been well liked by my guests.

----------
  1. Boil CELERY ROOTS just until done through. Take care because this can happen more suddenly than you might think and you must not overcook. Determine doneness by running a sharp skewer through the center - it should not encounter a hard spot. Chill quickly in cold water.
  2. Peel Celery Roots and cut into 1/8 inch slices, then cut the slices into narrow juliennes. Place in a non-reactive mixing bowl.
  3. Slice ONION in half lengthwise and slice thin crosswise and cut into lengths of abut 1 inch.
  4. Chop PARSLEY medium - measure is lightly packed.
  5. Mix together all Dressing items, then mix All Items together, tumbling gently by hand. Let the flavors blend for an hour or more, tumbling gently a couple of times.
  6. Serve cold, at room temperature, or warm.
NOTES:
  1. Celery Root:   (Celeriac) These knobby lumps are becoming quite common in produce markets and even in supermarkets. Select roots that are of medium size and have many leaf stems sprouting from them - large roots or those with a single thick stem tend to be very fibrous. For details see our Celery Root page.
  2. Oil:   Any good salad grade oil will work fine, but I favor olive oil, virgin if it's not too intense..
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
