Celery Root Apple Slaw

Serves 6.

Written by
Celery Root Apple Slaw
In this incarnation of slaw, the mild flavour of celery root pairs nicely with tart green apples and an umami-laced miso dressing. If you’d like an extra pop of sweetness, try tossing in some dried cherries or raisins. While this slaw is best served soon after preparing, it can be made up to two days in advance and chilled.

Tip

The shredding blade of a food processor can make quick work of breaking down vegetables for homemade slaws. [/callout]
