FLAVOURS  FRESH ROOTS

WALDORF SLAW The flavours of the classic Waldorf salad go for a spin and become a slaw by using celery root instead of celery stalks. Celery root is sold in a range of sizes and often has lots of dirty knobbly bits that need to be trimmed off. If you think you are going to lose a lot to the compost bin make sure you buy slightly more than you need.
