Notes: This is a "heart healthy" French salad. Celeriac is sometimes hard to find. It's not actually the root the stalk celery plant, but it's in the same family. It will be more commonly found in the fall and looks very gnarly, about the size of a softball. It will need to be peeled and, as the recipe notes, grated. It has a mild celery flavor and is very tasty.
