Pear & Celery Root Slaw

:  November/December 2011

Your rating: None Average: 4 (3 votes)

Pears, celery root, carrots and onion combine in this flavorful fall slaw recipe. Use underripe pears to keep the texture crisp. Cutting the pears and celery root by hand into little matchsticks makes a prettier salad, but go ahead and shred them with a box grater if you’re in a hurry.

Tips & Notes

  • Tips: To peel celery root, remove the thick skin with a knife or use a vegetable peeler and peel around the root at least three times to make sure to remove the layer of the fibrous skin.
  • Look for peeled and precut carrots, called “julienne-cut,” with other prepared vegetables in the produce department.
