Celery Root, Orange, Grapefruit, and Spinach Salad Recipes

Ingredients :

3 tbsp lemon juice

1 celery root

1 large pink or red grapefruit

2 oranges

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tbsp thick tomato puree

1 tsp sugar

4 handfuls small spinach leaves, rinsed

Place about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a bowl of cold water. Trim and peel the celery root. Cut it into strips about 1/4 inch wide and 1.5 inches long, dropping them into the bowl of water to keep them from turning brown. Cook in boiling salted water until barely tender, 5-7 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water, and drain again.

Remove the peel and all of the white pith from the grapefruit and oranges. Over a bowl to trap the juices, cut carefully between the membranes to remove the grapefruit and orange segments. Set aside. Combine the fruit juices, including what is in the bowl, with the tomato and toss with the dressing. Place on 4 salad plates and top with the orange and grapefruit segments.

Serves 4

A refreshing winter salad. The citrus plays nicely off the starchy celery root and earthy leaves.
