Add some sprigs of dill for a tasty and pretty garnish for this raw celery root salad.
In my experience, people are often intimidated by the way celery roots look when they see them in grocery stores or at the farmers market. But they’re nothing to be afraid of!
Here’s a great recipe for a raw celery root remoulade (or in English, salad).
You can also easily make this dish vegan by using our recipe for tofu sour cream.
