Celery root salad (Selleriesalat) is a staple in Germany in winter. You can buy it ready-made in a jar but my mom always made it for us from scratch. If you like, you can add garlic or fresh herbs, but I prefer it plain.
Ingredients
- 2 celeriacs (celery root) , peeled and cut into quarters
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt , or as needed
- 1 large onion , finely chopped
- 5 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil
Instructions
-
1
Combine celeriac pieces, water, and 1 tablespoon salt in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until celeriac is soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid, and set aside to cool, about 1 hour. Cube celeriac and place in a bowl with onion.

Stir together cooled cooking liquid, vinegar, and sugar. Pour over celeriac and onion. Add oil and mix well. Season with salt.

Traditional Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs have a classic filling are the result of years of trial and error to make perfect deviled eggs. They are a holiday tradition in our house! Take care when serving — they're very slippery and will always land yolk-side down! I arrange them on a bed of lettuce to help keep them from sliding.
