Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling the celery root and Granny Smith apple. Once peeled, slice both the apple and the celery root into julienne strips, keeping them thin and uniform. This method of cutting ensures that they blend together well and create a visually appealing dish.

-
Prevent Browning: Since both the celery root and apples tend to oxidize and turn brown quickly once cut, it’s essential to take immediate action. As soon as you have finished slicing, place both the apple and celery root in a bowl. To prevent browning, pour the apple cider vinegar over the contents of the bowl and mix gently. The vinegar helps preserve the fresh color and flavor of the ingredients.
-
Add the Mayonnaise: Next, add the mayonnaise to the mixture in the bowl. Stir everything together gently to ensure that the mayonnaise evenly coats the apple and celery root. You want every piece to be well-dressed, creating a creamy and delicious contrast with the crisp textures of the apple and celery root.
-
Chill and Serve: After mixing, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste. Once ready to serve, give the salad a final gentle stir and present it chilled.
