Warm celeriac salad with chestnuts and blueberries

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A delicious and warming roast celeriac salad made with sweet fresh blueberries and earthy chestnuts. A great vegan recipe that makes use of a common veg box vegetable.

For years I had no idea what to do with celeriac - beyond mashing it either on its own or with potato.

These days I have come to love this gnarly old root vegetable - although I still hate how difficult it is to peel.

I love it roasted as a side or as part of a roast dinner.

It's also lovely in this Jerusalem artichoke and celeriac soup with coconut and chilli.

However, this unusual salad is my favourite way to eat it at the moment.

Celeriac works surprisingly well in a salad and combined with blueberries and chestnuts it's hearty, delicious and filling.

What does celeriac taste like?

It has a distinctly fresh and light flavour that isn't quite like anything else. It's a bit like a subtler version of celery.

A little bit nutty and the texture is completely different to crunchy celery. Perhaps this is why I like celeriac despite never being a fan of celery.

    This sounds lovely and a bit different too which is always great. I love to add some celeriac to a coleslaw but it is great roasted too!
