Instructions
- Shred the wedges of celeriac using the grating disc of a food processor, or thinly slice using a sharp knife. Put into a pot of boiling water with half the lemon juice, cook for 5 minutes until tender, then drain well and put into a large bowl. Shred the cabbage in the same way as the celeriac, then add to the bowl with the celeriac, along with the onion.
- In a screw-top jar, shake together the ingredients for the dressing and season to taste. Spoon two-thirds of the dressing over the celeriac, cabbage and onion and toss lightly. Set aside.
- Heat a small non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat, dry-fry the walnuts for 2 minutes, stirring, then take off the heat and reserve. Cut the Edam into matchsticks. Core the apple, cut it into thin slices, then put on a plate and sprinkle with the rest of the lemon juice to prevent it discolouring.
- Just before serving, toss the Edam, apple slices and toasted walnuts into the salad. Spoon over the rest of the dressing, toss and serve immediately.
