This is the second celery root slaw recipe I’ve written about. I guess it goes without saying that I’m quite fond of this root. While I’ve made it as I would any other slaw – a side to a summer BBQ type meal or just by itself - these days I have an obsession with celery root slaw paired with tacos.
From fish to pork tacos there’s something about celery root that is a refreshing change from your everyday cabbage slaw. Now don’t all you slaw lovers get your knives in a bunch over that last statement. I have nothing against cabbage based saws, in fact on the contrary I love them. I also think the pairing of cabbage and tacos is a great one, it is a classic after all but lets keep an open mind shall we?
Celery Root Slaw – serves 2
1 large celery root
1 poblano pepper, diced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
juice and zest of 1 lime
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Peel your celery root and either using a mandolin or a box grater slice into a medium sized bowl and combine with the pueblano and cilantro.
In a seperate bowl mix about 1/4 cup of olive oil with the lime juice and zest and whisk until emulsified. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the celery root, mix well and refridgerate for an hour before serving.
Serve as a side salad or with tacos.
