Added grated apple for a little sweetness, and some roasted hazelnuts for crunch. Would make again.
I didn't have creme fraiche, so I used some rich whole milk yogurt. I also used less lemon and substituted tarragon vinegar. Delicious!
I doubled the dressing recipe. And took the suggestion of adding a little grated apple for sweetness. Was short on chives so added some finely chopped scallions.
delicious! made a double batch - leftovers held up well in the fridge for close to a week.
I always tenderize celeriac (small matchsticks using a mouli grater) before incorporating in a salad. Classic method is to mix with lemon juice and salt and let sit for about an hour. Easier method is to blanch matchsticks in boiling water for about a minute, drain and rinse with cold water. I do the same even if using the lemon salt method. Spread matchsticks on large kitchen towels. Cover with additional towels and roll up jelly roll style. Squeeze hard over sink until all water is extracted. Tender, dry and dressing ready
As a French national, this definitely brought taste memories. I upped the yogurt and mayo and put a dash of regular cream. I skipped the celery as I don't recall that from any I had at home. Also skipped the grape seed oil, but I love lemon juice so went heavy on that.
