Celery Salad

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1.5 pieces tender, white celery root bulbs
• water, lightly salted (as needed)
• vinegar (a little)
• oil (a little)
• salt (a little)
• pepper (a little)
• lamb's lettuce leaves (as needed)

Instructions

1. Peel one to two very tender, white celery root bulbs and boil them until tender in lightly salted water, then slice them thinly, either with a plain knife or a crinkle cutter.
2. While still warm, mix the celery with vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Arrange after cooling and garnish with clean-washed lamb's lettuce leaves.
4. It can also be mixed with an egg sauce, like lettuce salad; in this case, the lamb's lettuce can be omitted.
