Celeriac and Apple Salad: Take Two

This is my second experiment with celeriac and apple salads. The first one is here.

4 cups of water
3 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice
2 tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into strips
1 large celeriac, peeled and cut into to thin strips

Put the the apples & celeriac into a bowl with water and lemon juice to prevent browning. Leave approximately 15 minutes.

1/2-1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds or combination

Toss the walnuts in a skillet over high heat (don't add oil or anything) until they start to brown.

1 1/2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
4 tbsp of greek yogurt
1 tblsp heavy cream
2 tsp of Coriander
1/2 tsp Pepper

Drain the celeriac and apples and return to bowl. Pour apple cider vinegar over and mix. Add the nuts.

Mix the yogurt, cream, coriander, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the celeriac and apples and toss to coat.

Chill over night.

This was pretty good, however, I have some thoughts on improvement:
  • Replace the 1 tbsp of heavy cream with orange juice and/or add 1/4 tsp of orange extract
  • I used walnuts in this one and I think almonds would be better
