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.
