Celery Root Salad Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 lb celery root (also called celeriac)
4 cup water (salted), boiling
6 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 1/4 tsp mustard, dry
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 garlic clove, crushed
3/4 tsp dill weed, dried (use more if fresh, )
1/3 cup scallions, minced
1/3 cup parsley, minced
Recipe
Preparation
Peel the celery root and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the cubed
celery root to the boiling salted water and cook until tender, about
15 minutes. Drain.
Combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk or shake to make a
dressing. Pour the dressing over the cooked celery root and toss.
Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.
Celery root (also called celeriac) is sometimes hard to find. Try to
get ones about the size of a large fist; smaller ones have too much
waste, and bigger ones are often pithy. This vegetable is not worth
eating raw.
NOTES:
* Cooked celery root in vinaigrette -- This salad has an intense
celery flavor. The taste is so strong that it should be served only
with other strongly flavored foods. It would overwhelm veal, but
would go well with a lamb roast. Yield: Serves 6-8.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 2 hours chilling.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Know what is in your food
Be sceptical of advertizing that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the back of the tin or package. Quite a few are only slightly reduced and in some cases still higher than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are exactly the same.
* It is possible to make really nice smoothies by using low carbohydrate yogurt.
Yes, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you love smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using reduced carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Of course, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole of the fruit as you need the fiber.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash)
These natural foods are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) believed to play a major part in minimizing the risk of cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach. Many are low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program.
