Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the blanched celery root, apple slices, and chopped walnuts. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated. -
Final Touches
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Give everything a final mix, ensuring the salad is well combined. -
